Feed in Tariffs

A feed in tariff pays you for electricity generated by your solar PV system.

Nett Feed In Tariff

Under a nett feed in tariff, a premium is paid for any solar energy that goes back into the grid from your house. So if you have surplus energy generated by your solar panels, you get paid for it; and if you use all of the energy you generate it will be offset against your normal electricity bill.

Gross Feed In Tariff

Under a gross feed in tariff you get paid for every unit of electricity generated by your solar panels, as the power feeds directly into the grid. The energy you use comes directly from the electricity grid via your normal electricity meter.
