Solar Feed-in Tariffs South Australia
Right now, there are 20 businesses providing Feed-in tariffs in South Australia. The rates vary between 1.0c/kWh and 8.5c/kWh. When you’re on the hunt for an energy supplier, the feed-in tariff is only a piece of the puzzle.
To optimize your solar system ROI, you will need to find a supplier with a low supply and usage charge, as well as a generous Feed-in tariff.
The below 3 picks are not backed on the feed-in tariff alone, they are based on the Supply charge plus the usage charge, less the feed-in tariff rate.Â
We are assuming a 25kWh daily usage with 70% being used at night which is standard for most households.

1. Energy Locals
Energy locals sits at the top of the pile with a daily suply charge of $0.78 and a usage charge of $0.385/kWh. Couple that with a $0.06/kWh feed-in tariff rate and they are clear winners.
2. Amber
Amber actually has one of the lowest actual Fit prices, but with a mid range supply charge of $1.04 daily and an ultra low usage charge of $0.35/kWh, it’s simply a better deal.Â
3. GloBird
GloBird slowly grows in popularty with it’s low supply charge and Fit price combinations. Their daily supply charge is on par with Amber @ $1.05, and a veru reasonable usage charge of $0.35/kWh. When put into context, their low $0.025/kWh FiT rate starts to look a little more handsome.
