Turn Sunshine into Savings: How ENGIE Solar Export Credits Work
Australia is one of the sunniest countries in the world, and many people have invested in solar energy.
Aside from using solar energy to help power your home, did you know that with ENGIE’s solar export credits, you can earn money for the excess energy your panels produce?
Here’s how it works.
What Are Solar Export Credits?
When your solar system generates more electricity than your home uses, the surplus flows back into the grid. ENGIE rewards you for this contribution through feed-in tariffs (FiTs)—credits applied directly to your energy bill.
How It Works
- Step 1: Your home uses solar energy first.
- Step 2: Extra energy is exported to the grid.
- Step 3: ENGIE credits your account based on the exported kilowatt-hours (kWh) and feed-in tariff rate that applies under your plan.
These credits can help reduce your electricity costs.
Why It Matters
- Lower Bills: Every exported kWh earns you credits.
How Much Can You Earn?
Feed-in tariffs vary by state and plan – check out our energy plans to see what FiT you can get.
