OUR FEED-IN TARIFF

Optimise your earnings by exporting during evening peak hours.

What is solar feed‑in?

When your solar panels produce electricity, your home uses that power first.  

If your panels make more energy than you need at that moment, the extra flows into the electricity grid. This process is called solar feed‑in.  

You don’t lose that power – instead, you get paid for it through what’s called a feed‑in tariff. 

Our feed-in tariff

Our feed-in tariff (FiT) has been designed to best suit households that can time their exports to align with when the grid needs electricity the most, typically during peak demand periods in the evening.  

That’s why Flow Home has introduced a new FiT structure to reward energy-savvy exporters. Under this new structure, the rate for exports will be $0 during off-peak hours.  

Optimally timed exports will be rewarded with a competitive bonus rate from 5:30-7:30pm every day. The rate of export will vary based on your state – 

  • VIC: 35c/kWh 
  • NSW, QLD and SA: 45c/kWh

If your household can control when it exports, you could earn more for the power you produce.     

For existing customers

Flow Home customers who joined before December 1, 2025  

You will receive a base feed-in tariff of 3.3c/kWh, and an adjustment will be made to that rate each month, based on your export habits and how closely they aligned with wholesale market pricing signals that month.  

This FiT is based on wholesale prices, designed to give you access to a wider range of pricing. This allows for greater earning potential when you export your stored energy during peak times or grid events. Equally, your rate can be negatively impacted by exporting during times of the day when energy is abundant in the grid – like solar hours during the day.  

Using the Flow Power app, you can monitor the market to find the most lucrative times to export and avoid the times when you could be charged.

Better rates with a battery

 

To get the best feed-in tariff, you’ll need to export more of your energy at peak times and avoid exporting during the day.

This makes Flow Power an excellent choice for battery owners who can charge up during the day instead of exporting.

Using the Flow Power app, battery owners can find the highest prices and export accordingly.

Find out how our feed-in tariff has been designed to reward savvy battery owners.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer a fixed rate tariff?

At Flow Power, we’re on a mission to encourage and incentivise smarter energy habits.

With our new FiT structure designed to reward energy-savvy exporters, the rate for exports will be $0 during off-peak hours, while optimally timed exports will be rewarded with a competitive bonus rate between 35-45c/kWh, depending on your state, from 5:30-7:30pm every day.

Exporting clean energy at peak times helps reduce the demand for energy produced by fossil fuels, like coal generation plants, which typically power up during the evening peaks. This supports the integration of renewable energy, when the grid needs it most, helping accelerate Australia’s renewable transition.

Is Flow Power a wholesale electricity plan?

Not exactly. With Flow Power you’ll still receive a base electricity rate, daily supply charge and a feed-in tariff. You won’t be directly connected to wholesale prices.

However, we do give you the opportunity to change your final rate each month and offer a competitive boosted feed-in tariff when your export timing is optimised. It’s our unique way of unlocking the cost-saving benefits of wholesale prices for Aussie households, without leaving you fully exposed to wholesale market price spikes.
