Understanding AGL's Feed-in Tariff

payments

FIT isn't everything

A high feed-in tariff looks good, but your usage rate and daily supply charge often have a bigger impact on your total bill. A plan with a lower FIT but cheaper usage rates can save you more overall.

Single vs time-of-use

Single-rate FITs pay the same amount regardless of when you export. Time-of-use FITs pay more during peak periods but less during off-peak — which is when most solar exports happen.

Self-consumption value

With AGL's FIT at 8c and usage rates around 32c, every kWh you use yourself instead of exporting saves you an extra 24c.

Is AGL's 8c FiT Worth It?

AGL's best rate of 8c/kWh is below their average usage rate of 32c/kWh. Every kWh you self-consume instead of export saves you an extra 24c.

A battery lets you store your daytime solar for evening use, maximising the value of every kWh you generate.

Should I choose AGL just for their feed-in tariff?expand_more
Not necessarily. A higher feed-in tariff doesn't always mean a better deal overall. Your usage rate (what you pay per kWh consumed) and daily supply charge often matter more than the export rate, especially if you use most of your solar during the day. Compare the total plan cost, not just the FIT.
