How should I compare solar feedin tariffs when choosing an electricity retailer?

A SolarWise Team Answered by

Compare the feed-in tariff alongside the plan’s daily supply charge, usage rates and any solar export limits, rather than choosing the highest export rate alone. A high tariff may not offset expensive evening electricity or apply to all the energy your system sends to the grid. Check the retailer’s fact sheet for eligibility rules, contract conditions, discounts and whether rates can change. Your best option depends on your usage, system size and location, so use an up-to-date government comparison tool or confirm the full offer directly with each retailer.
