With Solar Max, our higher than standard feed-in tariff (FiT) applies for the first 12 kWh average solar export per day across your billing period, after which our standard FiT rate will apply to the balance of solar export. The daily export is averaged by dividing the total solar export by the number of days in each billing period.
Solar Max has variable energy rates. With no lock-in contracts or an exit fee, you’re free to leave the plan if it’s not right for you.
If you are a current customer, you can see how much you’ve exported in total under the Solar export line item in the Understanding your bill section on your bill. Solar buyback is another term for feed-in tariff (FiT). Our higher than standard feed-in tariff (FiT) applies for the first 12 kWh average solar export per day across your billing period, after which our standard FiT rate will apply to the balance of solar export. You’ll see them as two separate line items with the words ‘Block 1’ and ‘Block 2’.

Our higher than standard feed-in tariff (FiT) applies for the first 12 kWh average solar export per day across your billing period, after which our standard FiT rate will apply to the balance of solar export. The daily export is averaged by dividing the total solar export by the number of days in each billing period.
If your average daily solar export is 20 kWh during a 90-day billing period, this is how the solar export would be calculated as an example.
- The first 12 kWh average daily solar export multiplied by 90 days at 10c/kWh.
- The 8 kWh average daily solar export balance would be multiplied by 90 days at the standard FiT c/kWh for your state.
Rates for this plan are variable, which means that they may change whenever we change our rates. This usually occurs once a year, around July. Your solar feed-in tariff is also variable and may change during the year at the same time or at a different time as your home energy rates. Please keep this in mind before you sign up to a variable rate plan. You will be notified via your preferred contact method before your rates change
