Feed In Tariffs

Encourage PV Solar

Panels On Homes

"A Feed-in Tariff (FiT, FiL, Feed-in Law or solar premium[1]) is an incentive structure that boosts the adoption of renewable energy through government legislation. The regional or national electricity utilities are obligated to buy renewable electricity (electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar photovoltaics, wind power, biomass, and geothermal power) at above market rates."- Wikipedia definition of Feed-In Tariff

Feed In Tariffs offer one of the most useful ways of encouraging homeowners to instal photovoltaic solar panels on their homes.

Feed In Tariffs are a mechanism by which owners of grid- connect photovoltaic solar power systems are paid MORE than the retail price for any excess electricity production that is fed back into the grid.

Feed In Tariffs have been a huge success in Germany and Spain, and operate in over 40 jurisdictions around the world. See some examples of Feed In Tariffs around the globe.

Feed-in tarrifs for solar pv systems are being introduced in the ACT (Canberra), South Australia, NSW, Victoria, WA and Queensland. Here's the national state-of-play...

A lot of people are confused over conflicting opinions on whether income from a feed-in tariff in Australia is taxable income. The short answer is 'No'. We have been provided with an ATO Private Ruling on the subject. After a period of time, the Ruling enters the public domain, and will be added to the ATO website's database. Until then, rest easy!
