Ranked by what a year of feed-in credits pays a typical two-person home on Ausgrid’s network in Sydney 2000 (5,237 kWh a year) with 6.6 kW of panels, most first. One plan per retailer, the one that pays most. Leaves out wholesale plans, whose prices are the retailer’s estimate; demand plans, which need your meter data; plans sold only through comparison sites, to members or to existing customers; and plans only for homes with a battery or an EV. Compares 26 retailers, not the whole market.

Ranked on what the exports earn, not on the advertised rate: a rate paid for a few evening hours, or only on the first few kWh a day, earns less than it reads. A plan that pays most for exports can still cost more over the year, so the solar home’s bill is beside each. When checked on 13 October 2026, the same four retailers paid most on Energex’s network in South East Queensland, in a different order. Flow Power Happy Hour advertises 35.0c a kWh, paid 5.30pm–9.30pm, when panels make little: it earns this home about $16 a year.
