Best solar and battery feed in tariffs
A feed in tariff is what your retailer credits you for each kWh of solar you export. Rates have fallen for years and keep falling, because midday solar is now worth very little on the grid. That is exactly why home batteries pay off: power you store and use in the evening is worth 25 to 45c per kWh to you, while exported power earns a few cents.
The standard rates below cover the 18 retailers we review, as at July 2026. Rates differ by state and plan, confirm on the retailer's site.

Chasing the highest feed in tariff is the old game
A 2c difference in feed in tariff on a typical export is a few dollars a month. Avoiding the evening peak with a battery is worth ten times that. If your feed in credits are shrinking, the answer is usually not a new retailer, it is storing the power instead of exporting it.
