A feed-in tariff (FiT) is what your electricity retailer pays you for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar power your panels send back to the grid. It shows up as a credit on your bill. It isn't paid on the solar you use yourself, which is why using your own solar is usually worth more than exporting it.
A household that exports 10 kWh a day on a 5c feed-in tariff earns about $182 a year in credits. On 1c it earns about $36.
Retailers often pair a generous feed-in tariff with a higher usage rate or daily charge. Unless you export much more than you import, the extra credit can be wiped out by what you pay for power at night. Each state page scores plans for your household so you can see the real trade-off.
A flat rate pays the same at any time. A time-varying rate pays more in the early evening and less in the middle of the day. Most panels export around midday, so we rank plans by what they pay at 12pm and show any higher evening rate separately. Evening rates suit homes with a battery.
It's what your electricity retailer pays you for each kilowatt-hour of solar power you send back to the grid. It appears as a credit on your bill.
Most plans pay between 0c and 5c per kWh. The best plans with no special conditions pay up to 10c, usually on a limited amount of exports each day.
Not always. Plans with high feed-in tariffs often charge more for the power you buy. If you buy more power than you export, a cheaper usage rate usually saves more.
