Feed-in Tariff

At SolEarth Energy, we are dedicated to providing you with up-to-date information about the benefits of feed-in tariffs, which allow you to earn money by selling excess electricity back to the grid. In several states across Australia, feed-in tariffs have become an essential component of sustainable energy solutions.

Understanding Feed-in Tariff

Feed-in tariffs offer a compelling incentive for households and businesses to install solar panels. It’s not just about reducing your electricity bills; it’s also about earning money by generating your own electricity through environmentally friendly methods. The core concept of feed-in tariffs is simple: you get paid by your electricity provider for the surplus electricity your solar panel system sends to the grid.

What You Need to Know

The rates you receive through the feed-in tariff can vary from state to state and from one electricity retailer to another. Typically, these rates fluctuate between 8 cents to even 12 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). SolEarth Energy is here to help you secure competitive rates that add real value to your solar investment.

Residential Capacity

For residential properties, the maximum export capacity is typically 5 kW for single-phase connections and 15 kW for three-phase connections. This means you can earn money for the excess energy your solar panels produce, whether you’re a small household or a larger one.

Net Feed-in Tariff

Some programs offer a premium for surplus energy generated by your solar panel installation. These credits can be applied to offset your electricity costs, providing further savings and financial benefits.

Gross Feed-in Tariff

With a gross feed-in tariff, you get paid for all the excess electricity generated by your solar panel system, regardless of whether it goes into the grid or is consumed within your living space. It’s a hassle-free way to enjoy the benefits of your solar investment.
