The Sunshine State is a great place to go solar because it receives an average of more than 7-8 hours of sunlight every day^. As a result, an unshaded north-facing 5kW solar system in Queensland can generate more than 7,600 kWh of electricity every year*. Most solar households use about half of the energy generated by their PV panels. So, they can ‘export’ unused solar power into the grid and earn a feed-in tariff (FIT) payment. Solar owners in Queensland could receive hundreds of dollars annually in feed-in credits, saving even more money on their power bills. Consequently, it can be well worth it for solar owners to shop around for a better deal.A watch out when comparing SE Queensland solar feed-in tariffs

Queensland solar feed-in tariffs for households by electricity retailer (cents per kWh exported)
We display minimum and maximum feed-in tariffs (FITs) as some retailers offer different FITs on different plans. Click “View” to see retailer and premium FITs by plan.
Feed-in tariffs (FITs) shown exclude GST. GST on feed-in tariffs is only paid to ABN holders.
Feed-in tariffs are sourced from the Retailer's published Basic Plan Information Documents/Energy Price Fact Sheets. Some plans may have additional conditions relating to solar feed-in tariffs not displayed here. Please review the Retailer's Terms and Conditions before taking up any contract.
FITs are typically variable, and future FITs may be subject to change by the Retailer.
Where a Premium FIT is paid, please note that all premium feed-in tariff schemes are closed to new entrants, so if you are not currently receiving a premium feed-in tariff, you will only be able to receive the standard feed-in tariff.
“Market-linked plans” that have their rates tied directly to the wholesale market spot price are not included in the tables above because these rates vary every day and cannot be compared like-for-like with most plans where the published rate is the rate you pay. To view indicative rates and feed-in tariffs published for market-linked plans, please see WATTever’s rates pages for Amber.
– Battery only and Electric Vehicle only plans that require the household to have a battery or EV are not included in the tables above due to the small portion of consumers who qualify for these plans. These plans are still visible on the retailer solar feed-in tariff pages. ActewAGL offers electricity plans in a small number of postcodes in the Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy networks. Please refer to the ActewAGL feed-in tariff page for their plans.
Ausgrid Solar Tax. Annoying, but it’s no apocalypse.
There’s been a fair bit of noise about the so-called “sun tax” that solar households in the Ausgrid network (Sydney/Hunter/Central Coast) will soon be subject to.
Rooftop solar payback drops to 3 years
The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) says payback time will likely get even better in 2023 in their latest report. “If retail energy prices increase next year to the level some predict, the average payback period for a rooftop solar system could decline from about 4 years to 3 years.”
2022 DMO VDO electricity prices up from July
Last week the Australian Energy Regulator and Victoria’s Essential Services Commission released their pricing for 2022-23. It’s not the stable pricing both predicted last year. It’s just another sign of the big jump in power prices.
