A solar feed-in tariff is a payment you receive from your electricity retailer for any excess energy produced by your solar system that gets fed back to the grid.

Solar feed-in tariffs usually consist of a few cents that you’ll receive for each Kilowatt hour (kWh) of excess energy produced.

Generally, it’s not paid out in cash but will instead appear as a credit on your energy bill from your designated electricity retailer.

Unless you have a solar battery, any excess electricity your solar system produces that you don’t consume will instantly be fed into the grid.

The photovoltaic cells (PV) in your solar panels turn the sun’s solar rays into electricity. When sunlight is exposed to each solar cell, it causes the particles to vibrate.

The vibration is what we call kinetic energy. This is converted into electrical energy when it moves from the solar panels into the solar inverter. The solar inverter converts the energy into a usable form for your electrical appliances.

Your solar inverter is connected to your switchboard. The switchboard gives you the flexibility to use your energy and for the excess to be sold back to the electricity grid at a solar feed-in tariff rate.

A solar battery limits your reliance on the grid and stores the excess energy produced by your solar system for when nightfall hits.

When you’re looking at a solar plan, you typically look for a high solar feed-in tariff. But what’s the reason behind this? Isn’t there a catch?

Because you want to see the maximum savings you were promised when you decided to switch to solar energy.

However, some electricity retailers offer plans with high feed-in tariffs but may also have high energy rates.

But, is the plan with the highest solar feed-in tariff (FiT) the best one for you?

It all comes down to how you use your electricity.

A household that exports heaps of excess solar energy may benefit from a high feed-in tariff. But a household that barely exports any excess energy may be better off with a moderate feed-in tariff and a sharper electricity rate.

Sounds a bit complicated? Don’t worry, we can help. Call one of our friendly solar experts, and we’ll crunch the numbers to see if you’re getting a fair solar feed-in tariff rate!

Perhaps you’re already on a current energy plan but want to shop around for something better. Phone us now and one of our energy experts will work to find you a balanced plan that helps you get a better value out of your solar system.

Switching to solar is not a small commitment. It’s a long-term investment with a high initial upfront cost. But if done right, has absolutely rewarding benefits.

Remember, it’s not all about a high feed-in tariff. It also depends on your energy usage.

If you’re using the energy your solar system produces and still buying electricity from the grid, you may be better off with a sharper electricity rate and a moderate feed-in tariff.

But if you’re exporting an enormous amount of excess solar energy, then the highest solar feed-in tariff could be your best option.
