What is a solar feed-in tariff? What tariffs are paid in each state?

Feed-in tariffs for solar might sound uninviting, but in fact they are one of the greatest advantages to installing a solar system. Typically a solar system generates its greatest amount of energy during the middle of the day, when the sun is highest. But we're are we during those hours? Often stuck at work with very little electricity being used in our home. So when your solar system is generating more energy than your home requires you're able to start feeding power back into the grid. The 'feed-in tariff' is what the energy companies pay you when they buy that energy back. Of course, it can get a bit more complicated than that and feed-in tariffs vary from state to state, so to get the best understanding of solar tariffs, read our article on Tariffs in Australia.
