Now, what is a feed-in tariff? A feed-in tariff is the amount of money that you will get paid when you export solar electricity to the grid.<\/p>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s define what I mean by exporting solar electricity to the grid. When you get a new solar system, you&#8217;ll get an import\/export meter. They way that meter works is, at any moment in time the meter will look at how much electricity you&#8217;re generating from the solar panels and how much electricity you&#8217;re using in the house.<\/p>\n<p>Any excess power will, by the natural forces of physics, flow out through your meter into the grid and that is exported electricity and you will get paid for that electricity at the current feed-in-tariff rate.<\/p>\n<p>The feed in-tariff is set by the state government. So you&#8217;re at the mercy of your state government.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re lucky, you live in Queensland at the moment, you get 44 cents a kilowatt-hour &#8211; pretty good deal (note: since I made this video this has been slashed to 8c).<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unlucky, in terms of feed-in tariffs in any way, you live in New South Wales where you are lucky to get 6 cents a kilowatt-hour.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/feed-in-tariffs\/\">solar feed-in tariff<\/a> that you&#8217;re eligible for will make a huge difference to the payback of your solar system if you export any of the solar electricity, which you will at some point, so you need to know what your feed-in tariff is.<\/p>\n<p>Have a look on my website SolarQuotes.com.au. We&#8217;ve got a list of all the latest feed-in tariff information for every state. Now as well as checking the feed-in tariff, you also want to check what tariff your electricity retailer is going to change you to, if you get a solar system. Some electricity retailers are a bit\u2026 How do I put it? Anti-solar? So they take the opportunity when you get a solar system to put you on a more expensive tariff. So you actually pay more for electricity. \u00a0Or they might take you off an off peak tariff, which means you have to pay more for the off peak, you probably will have to pay a flat rate instead.<\/p>\n<p>So ring them up before you get a solar system. Ask them what will happen to current rates that you pay for electricity when you get solar. If you&#8217;re going to be worse off, simple solution, defect. There\u2019s loads of competition in the electricity retail market. You will almost certainly find an electricity retailer that will make sure that you&#8217;re not worse off by getting solar, so just defect to one of those guys.<\/p>\n<p>So there&#8217;s two things you need to check about electricity tariffs when you get a solar system. Number one, the feed-in tariff. Understand what feed-in tariff your state offers and understand that that is what you get paid when you export your solar electricity. It would make a huge difference to payback your solar system. So you really need to understand it.<\/p>\n<p>Number two: you need to check what electricity tariff you&#8217;ll be put on for buying electricity when you get the solar system. Some less-than-solar-friendly electricity retailers may put you on a more expensive tariff. They may remove your off peak entitlement and you shouldn&#8217;t stand for it. The simple solution is defect. Defect to a more generous electricity retailer if you&#8217;re getting solar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been busy making videos that answer some common solar questions.
