How Solful makes money — and how we keep advice honest
Business energy brokerage has a reputation problem. Solful is built differently: a modelling-led service with open methodology and clear commission disclosure.
How we get paid
When you ask us to switch you to a recommended tariff, the supplier may pay Solful a standard broker commission. You see the recommendation either way. We disclose commission ranges before you sign a Letter of Authority.
What we don’t do
We don’t hide supplier identity to push higher-margin deals. We don’t rank tariffs by commission. We don’t auto-switch you. Nothing moves until you confirm.
How tariffs are ranked
Our modelling service compares import, export and time-of-use tariffs against your actual usage pattern and any solar, battery, EV or heat-pump assets. The same engine is used for every customer.
Assumptions, not promises
Every estimate carries the assumptions behind it — usage shape, self-consumption share, charge windows, export rates. Real bills depend on weather, behaviour and supplier changes.
What you can audit
You can see the inputs we used, the tariffs considered, why ones were excluded, and the methodology version that produced the ranking. Ask us anytime and we’ll share it.
Switching support, not pressure
Free broker-assisted switching is opt-in. Solful+ adds ongoing monitoring and optimisation, but you stay in control of every change.
Cautious wording, on purpose
You’ll see words like estimated, could, may and where eligible across the site. That’s deliberate. Energy bills depend on weather, usage and supplier pricing — we won’t promise an exact saving we can’t guarantee.
