Overview

Feed-in tariffs for renewable energy pay for excess electricity generated by small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The amount paid varies between different retailers and can be compared using the Energy Made Easy website.

Benefits

Receive payment for the excess electricity generated by your solar power system that is fed back into the electricity grid.

Please note that if you receive feed-in credits it may have implications if you also receive any Centrelink or other benefit payments. They may also be considered as assessable income by the Australian Taxation Office.
