AGL Solar Feed-in Tariffs NSW QLD SA & VIC

AGL's solar feed-in tariffs vary by state, plan and customer circumstances, which means there is no single national AGL solar answer for every household. The relevant comparison is always tied to your state, your electricity plan and whether your system meets AGL's eligibility settings.

Quick answer: how should you compare AGL solar feed-in tariffs?

Check the current AGL solar feed-in tariff rules for your state, confirm your system eligibility and compare the feed-in tariff together with the import tariff and supply charge. The best solar outcome is the one that improves your full electricity bill, not the one with the most attractive export number in isolation.

AGL's feed-in tariff depends on state and plan context

AGL's solar feed-in tariff information makes clear that the rate can depend on where you live, what electricity plan you are on and the time of export in some contexts. That means a NSW customer and a VIC customer should not assume they are comparing the same solar outcome.

Eligibility matters before the tariff matters

AGL publishes system-capacity eligibility settings for each state. For example, NSW, SA, QLD and VIC each have their own relevant inverter-capacity limits or export-limit settings. If the system does not meet the eligibility rules, the feed-in tariff comparison is academic.

Solar feed-in tariffs are moving lower in many cases

AGL's current material also makes clear that residential standard retail contract customers will not receive a feed-in tariff from 1 July 2026. More broadly, the company explains why daytime export values are falling as more solar enters the grid.

That is why households should not compare feed-in rates in isolation. Self-consumption and the import tariff often matter more to the total bill outcome.

Who should compare AGL solar settings carefully

Comparison matters most for households that:

• already have rooftop solar;
• are thinking about switching to AGL for electricity;
• want to know whether an existing AGL plan is still competitive;
• are considering adding a battery or shifting daytime usage.

How to compare AGL solar properly

Use a simple process.

1. Confirm your state and current AGL plan.
2. Check whether your solar system meets AGL's eligibility rules.
3. Review the current feed-in tariff applying to your plan.
4. Compare it with the import tariff and supply charge.
5. Focus on your full annual bill outcome, not only export credits.

Common mistakes when comparing AGL solar tariffs

A common mistake is focusing only on the export rate. Another is ignoring eligibility limits. A third is forgetting that a lower feed-in tariff can still sit inside a better total electricity plan.

How CompareUs can help next

If you are comparing AGL for solar, check the whole electricity plan and your export pattern together. That produces a much better answer than looking at one solar number alone.
