Thousands of regional Queensland households and businesses with large solar power systems installed will now be able to receive a solar feed in tariff (FiT).<\/p>\n

Previously, there was 5kW size limit in place (inverter capacity) in order to be eligible for the feed in tariff (although there is potential to oversize systems<\/a> to a degree).<\/p>\n

On Friday, Queensland Treasurer and Acting Minster for Energy Curtis Pitt announced the limit had been increased to 30 kW of total rated inverter capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great news for those 4000 solar customers not previously eligible for the FiT and great news for regional Queensland households and businesses considering solar,” said<\/a> Mr. Pitt. \u201cMany businesses who have been considering solar will now be able to take advantage of the regional FiT for excess power they export when their businesses are closed.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The regional Queensland solar feed-in tariff<\/a> rate is currently set at\u00a0 10.102 cents, up from 7.448 cents per kilowatt hour during the 2016-17 year. Mr. Pitt said this is a cost-neutral rate based on market energy costs, therefore there is no additional expense to those who don’t have solar panels installed.<\/p>\n

\u201cPut simply – this initiative is a great outcome for customers and for the renewable energy industry,” Mr. Pitt stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Solar Citizens welcomed the announcement, stating it wouldn’t just help more regional Queensland households and businesses address rising power costs, but also put downward pressure on electricity prices due to solar’s contribution to the grid during peak times.<\/p>\n

“This is exactly the sort of policy that\u2019s needed to increase the uptake of rooftop solar and meet the Government\u2019s commitment of 1 million solar roofs (3 gigawatts) by 2020,” said<\/a> Solar Citizen’s Shani Tager.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the latest data available from Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator, there were 521, 520 small-scale solar power systems<\/a> (< 100kW) installed in Queensland as at August 1. The state continues to lead the nation in terms of numbers of systems installed – and by a wide margin. Next on the leaderboard is New South Wales with 374, 864 small systems in place, followed by Western Australia with 318, 713.<\/span><\/p>\n

Installing solar across Queensland (and much of Australia) became even more attractive in July this year when retailers increased feed-in tariff rates<\/a> by up to 83%.<\/p>\n

While STC values, upon which Australia’s solar subsidy<\/a> is based, have decreased since early this year, boosted feed-in tariff<\/a> rates combined with recent electricity price increases<\/a> have resulted in an improvement in the economics of rooftop solar<\/a> that outweighs the disadvantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
