Feed-in Tariff

FiT

The credit you receive per kWh of solar electricity exported to the grid from rooftop solar panels.

A feed-in tariff is the payment (per kWh credit on your electricity bill) for solar power your rooftop panels export to the grid instead of using yourself. FiT rates vary by retailer and state — typically 4 to 10 cents per kWh as at 2026, far below what you'd pay to import electricity. There are no longer any government-mandated minimum FiTs in most states; retailers set their own rates competitively.
