We hide a deal when a rule clearly clashes with a box you ticked. If a company did not make a rule clear, the deal stays in the list with a warning.
A high rate may make you move your electricity account or buy new equipment. Compare your full electricity bill, the price of any equipment and the amount of spare power you send to the grid.
Your export meter shows spare power sent to the grid. Do not use the total power made by your panels. If you do not have a meter reading yet, try a low and a high number in the solar payback calculator.
