Queensland's abundant rooftop solar is saving power companies about $30 million a month, according to the Conservation Council. Many home owners would like to be paid money for that power, but the Australian Energy Council says they are already getting enough.

That rate remains locked in until 2028 for people who remain at their property. It cannot be passed on to new owners.In regional Queensland, the feed-in tariff is regulated.

In south-east Queensland, the market determines tariffs and people with solar panels are advised to shop around for the best return. The Australian Energy Council recommends homes with solar panels consider using batteries to maximise personal power use.

it is not worth it to send the day power to the grid They r getting ripped off Sell low n to use it they get charged 300%

Also a real boost for the Chinese slave industry that produces the panels. But at least we know that the planet will be cooled by 0.00001 degree and that will make their sacrifice worth it.

A total lie, as an Engineer with 50+ years in the electrical industry I have long fought solar as a useless supplementary source of energy My contacts in Energex Management on Solar told me it causes them problems and cost passed onto consumers.
