In Perth, eligible solar customers may receive export payments through Western Australia’s Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme (DEBS), usually administered by Synergy. The scheme generally uses time-of-use rates, with a higher payment for electricity exported in the late afternoon and evening and a lower rate at other times. Your eligibility, applicable rates and export limits depend on your system, connection date and electricity provider, and can change over time. Check the latest information with Synergy or the WA Government before choosing a system, as using more solar at home may be worth more than exporting it.
