Ranked by what a year of feed-in credits pays a typical two-person home on CitiPower’s network in Melbourne 3000 (4,840 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 23 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. Flow Power Happy Hour advertises 30.0c a kWh, paid 5.30pm–9.30pm, when panels make little: it earns this home about $13 a year.
