Gross Solar Feed-in Tariff

The gross feed-in tariff was rolled out in New South Wales a few years ago and stopped in early 2011. The gross feed-in tariff is still currently available in the ACT, however it is not certain for how much longer.

In a nutshell, a gross feed-in tariff allows you to have your solar panels feed every Watt of electricity they produce back to the grid. This is different to a net feed-in tariff, with which you do not have to use the solar energy on your home or workplace first.

Net Solar Feed-in Tariff

The Net Feed-in Tariff is standard practice across most of the country now. It’s kind of like an overflow system.  What you do not use in your home or workplace will overflow back into the grid and you will be paid for it.

Net feed-in tariffs are probably designed to make people become more aware of their energy consumption. Some people have even be known to read with candles so they don’t use any power whilst their panels are at work.

State and Territory governments across Australia have adopted different approaches to what is normally referred to as a Solar Feed-In Tariff, sometimes known as a Solar Bonus Scheme or Solar buy-back scheme.

Solar Credits Rebate Explained

The amount of certificates your new system generates depends on the location of the installation. Check out the map to see what zone you’re in. Certificates or STCs have a changing value.  This is because they are tradable.  Basically, when the demand for the certificates is high, the value of the certificates increases.  When the demand is low, the certificate value is low.

The bigger the system, the bigger the point of sale discount. If you install a 3.0kW system in Zone 3, you will produce 62 certificates.  That’s an additional 31 certificates on top of the 31 for the first 1.5kW’s worth of panels. Below the Solar Credits rebate examples.
