Solar power is an obvious incentive for energy consumers in sunny Australia. GoSwitch understands the equation, offering Feed‑In Tariff (FiT) Mapping as part of our free service. This comparison tool helps Australian households and businesses find the best rates for selling excess solar power back to the electricity grid.
Feed‑In Tariff (FiT): The rate in cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) you’re paid for surplus solar electricity exported to the grid.
Mapping: GoSwitch gathers FiT rates from multiple Australian energy retailers so you can see which electricity retailer is offering the best deal in your area.
By State/Territory: NSW, QLD, SA, VIC, ACT, etc.
By Retailer: Minimum and maximum solar FiT rates, plus any special solar conditions.
Wholesale electricity prices – lower wholesale prices often mean lower FiTs.
Regulatory rules – some states set minimum feed-in tariffs, while other states leave it to retailers.
Market supply/demand – areas with lots of rooftop solar can see solar feed-in tariff rates drop during sunny hours.
Network costs – moving electricity across long distances can affect feed-in tariff rates.
If you already have a solar PV system and inverter, or are considering installing solar panels, GoSwitch FiT mapping can help you quickly compare retailer offers. Avoid being locked into a low-paying solar plan and maximise your solar investment returns with GoSwitch.
