How does the solar feedin tariff work in Canberra and what should I compare between electricity retailers?

A SolarWise Team Answered by

In Canberra, a feed-in tariff is the credit an electricity retailer provides for surplus solar power exported to the grid. Rates and conditions vary between retailers and plans, and may depend on export limits, daily supply charges, time of export or eligibility for a suitable meter. Compare the feed-in rate alongside the electricity usage rate and fixed charges, because a higher feed-in tariff does not always mean a lower overall bill. Check current offers with retailers and confirm the terms with your electricity distributor or a licensed solar professional before changing plans.
