Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about feed-in tariffs and our calculator.
Your average daily export can be found on your electricity bill, which typically shows your total export for the billing period. Divide this number by the number of days in the billing period to get your daily average. Alternatively, if you have a smart meter, you may be able to access daily export data through your retailer's online portal.
FiT rates vary between retailers due to differences in their business models, wholesale electricity costs, and competitive strategies. Some retailers may offer higher FiT rates but charge more for electricity consumption, while others may offer lower FiT rates but cheaper electricity prices. It's important to consider both the FiT rate and the consumption rate when choosing a retailer.
While FiT rates are generally set by retailers and not individually negotiable, you can shop around for better rates. If you find a better offer from another retailer, contact your current retailer to see if they can match or beat it. Some retailers may offer better rates to retain customers, especially if you have a good payment history and higher electricity consumption.
FiT rates can change at any time, but most retailers review and adjust their rates periodically, often in line with changes in wholesale electricity prices or regulatory decisions. Some retailers may offer fixed FiT rates for the duration of your contract, while others may have variable rates that can change with market conditions.
