NSW Solar Export Information
No Mandatory Minimum Rate
Unlike Victoria, NSW has no government-mandated minimum feed-in tariff. Retailers set their own rates, which means they can vary significantly. This makes it important to shop around.
Export Limits
Networks in NSW may impose export limits on solar systems, typically 5kW for single-phase connections. If your system is larger than your export limit, excess generation above the limit wont earn FiT.
Time-of-Export Tariffs
Some retailers offer time-varying FiT rates that pay more during peak demand periods (typically 4-9pm). However, since solar production is low during these times, the practical benefit is limited without a battery.
Low Feed-in Tariff?
If your FiT is below 5c, a battery can help you use more of your own solar and save money.
