Terms
In short: Should We is free for homes, and the business battery report is a paid subscription. It gives information, not financial advice. Its answers are estimates, shown as ranges, from the figures you give and the facts we cite. Check them, and a quote, before you spend money.
What Should We is
A calculator that estimates what a battery (and solar panels) would cost and save for a home or business in Australia, from its power bill. The home answer is free, on this site or from ChatGPT or Claude. The business battery report needs an account and a subscription (below), and is worked out on this site. It doesn’t sell batteries, panels or plans. If your report says to get a battery, you can ask us for quotes, and we pass your request to an installer (below).
Information, not financial advice
- It doesn’t know your whole situation, and it isn’t a licensed financial adviser.
- Facts, such as prices, rebates and their rules, come from the sources shown beside them, as they stood on the date shown. They change, sometimes without notice.
- Estimates rest on assumptions, such as when in the day you use power and what a battery costs, which are labelled as assumptions. Your real costs and savings may fall outside the range.
- Get a quote from an installer, and check a rebate with whoever pays it, before you decide.
Using it from ChatGPT or Claude
Should We supplies the figures; the chat writes the words around them, and can get them wrong. The report link it gives you shows our answer and its working as we calculated it. OpenAI’s or Anthropic’s own terms also apply to what you do in their apps.
Asking for quotes
If you press “Get quotes for this” on your report, we pass your name, your contact details and the report’s summary to a battery installer, who contacts you with a quote. The installer is a separate business: the quote, and any contract, are between you and them, and we don’t vouch for their price or their work. An installer may pay us for the introduction. That doesn’t change the report: it is worked out the same way whether or not you ask for quotes, and its figures come from the sources shown beside them, never from an installer. You can turn any quote down, and we’d suggest getting more than one.
The business report’s subscription
A subscription opens the business battery report to the account it was bought on: you can run it for your own site or sites, change the answers and come back to saved reports while it lasts. Payments are taken by RevenueCat, with card payments through Stripe, at the price shown on the payment page; a subscription renews until you cancel it there, and you keep access to the end of the period you’ve paid for. The report is the same estimate, in ranges, that the terms above describe: paying for it doesn’t make it advice. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Fair use
Use it for yourself, your household or your business, or to help someone else with theirs. There’s a daily limit on how often it can be called from one address; don’t try to get around it, or to break or overload the site.
Our responsibility
We work to keep the figures right and fix mistakes when we find them, but we don’t promise the site will always be available or free of errors. As far as the law allows, we aren’t responsible for decisions made on its estimates. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Your information
We use the usage data, bill figures and answers you give us to check and improve our estimates. We never sell them, and we never publish anyone’s bill or readings. What we keep, how we use it and for how long is in our privacy policy.
Changes and questions
We may update these terms; the date below says when they last changed. These terms are governed by the law of Western Australia. Questions to hello@shouldwe.com.au.
