Want to know which electricity retailer is offering the best solar feed-in tariffs for households? Listed below are electricity retailer’s latest solar feed-in tariffs for households in ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC and WA including key feed-in tariff conditions.
What is a Solar feed-in tariff? Solar feed-in tariffs (FIT) are the payment made to solar owners for the energy they generate and send back into the grid. Like a tiny power station, any extra energy generated through your solar panels that you don’t use can be sold back into the grid at the feed-in tariff rate. The retailer-provided solar FITs listed here do not include any bonus feed-in tariff that may be provided by state or territory governments. Premium FITs are shown on the retailer feed-in tariff pages linked below.
A good solar feed-in tariff is important, but to find the best deal you also need to value usage rates and supply charges. It’s easy to get it right with WATTever’s comprehensive electricity comparison offering a personalised cost ranking of publicly listed electricity plans from all retailers, based on your unique energy use and solar export to help you make serious savings. We include all retailers, tariff types, discounts, solar feed-in tariffs and limits, input for concessions and more. For more tips see our essential guide to comparing electricity for solar owners.

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.
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.
Rooftop solar now Australia’s second-biggest electricity generator
The latest report from the Australian Energy Council (AEC) shows that rooftop solar has become the second-largest generator of electricity in our country. That’s because households with solar now provide a whopping 14.7 gigawatts (GW) of capacity.
