Solar feed-in tariffs in Tasmania
What TAS households get paid for surplus solar exported back to the grid in 2026. Market structure, typical rates, time-of-use bands, and the grandfathered schemes still in effect.
How TAS's feed-in tariff market works
Tasmania has a single retail electricity market served primarily by Aurora Energy, with a regulated feed-in tariff set annually by the Tasmanian Economic Regulator (TER).
Regulated minimum
Aurora Energy is required to offer the regulated FiT to all small solar customers. The rate is reviewed annually based on wholesale market data.
What's actually worth chasing
TAS has limited retail competition, so there's not much to negotiate on FiT. Maximise value by sizing your solar system to match daytime self-consumption rather than oversizing for export.

Considering a battery for TAS?
Battery economics depend heavily on your FiT — the lower your export rate, the more valuable a battery becomes. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program rebate steps down 19% on 1 May 2026.
