How much can you earn from excess solar energy? Compare feed-in tariff rates across Australia and find the best deal.

Understanding when to use your solar energy vs. when to export it is key to maximizing savings.
25–35¢/kWh saved
Every kWh you use from your panels is a kWh you don't buy from the grid.
5–10¢/kWh earned
Surplus energy exported earns a feed-in tariff. Useful, but worth less than self-consumption.
25–35¢/kWh saved later
Battery storage lets you save daytime solar for evening use, avoiding expensive peak grid prices.
Feed-in tariffs vary dramatically between retailers. Compare plans to find the best rate.
An oversized system exports more energy. Pair it with a good tariff rate to earn more credits.
Some states offer higher rates during peak demand periods. A battery can help you export at the right time.
As feed-in tariffs drop, batteries become more valuable. Store cheap daytime solar and use it at night.
A feed-in tariff (FiT) is the rate your electricity retailer pays you for surplus solar energy you export back to the grid. It's credited to your electricity bill, reducing the amount you owe.
Feed-in tariff rates vary by retailer and change regularly. South Australia and the NT tend to offer competitive rates, while WA's time-based DEBS scheme can pay up to 10¢/kWh during peak periods.
It's almost always better to use your solar energy directly (self-consumption) because the electricity you avoid buying costs 25–35¢/kWh, while feed-in tariffs are typically only 5–10¢/kWh. Battery storage helps maximize self-consumption.
Generally yes. As more solar is installed, feed-in tariffs trend downward. This is why pairing solar with battery storage is increasingly popular — it lets you store and use your own energy instead of exporting it cheaply.
No commitment. No spam. Just savings.
