Origin Energy Solar Feed-in Tariffs ACT NSW QLD SA & VIC

Origin Energy's solar feed-in tariffs vary by state, plan and customer setup. That means solar households should not expect one Origin export rate to apply nationally.

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

Check the Origin feed-in tariff applying to your state and plan, confirm any eligibility or export rules, and compare the export rate together with the import tariff and supply charge. The best solar outcome is the one that improves your whole electricity bill, not just the export line.

Origin's solar comparison is state-based

Origin's public solar and tariff material makes it clear that pricing and conditions depend on location and plan context. That means ACT, NSW, QLD, SA and VIC customers should compare based on their local plan rather than a generic national figure.

Export value is only part of the answer

A solar feed-in tariff matters, but it is only one part of the bill outcome. Import rates, supply charges and self-consumption often matter just as much or more.

Solar households should compare the whole plan

When comparing Origin solar offers, check:

• the feed-in tariff itself;
• import electricity rates;
• supply charge;
• any solar-specific conditions;
• whether the plan still makes sense if your export pattern changes.

Who should compare Origin solar carefully

This matters most for households that:

• already have rooftop solar;
• are considering switching to Origin;
• want to review whether an existing Origin plan is still competitive;
• may be adding batteries or changing daytime usage patterns.

How to compare Origin solar properly

1. Confirm your state and current Origin plan.
2. Check the current feed-in tariff for that plan.
3. Review import rates and supply charge alongside it.
4. Compare your likely annual outcome, not only export credit.
5. Recheck when tariffs update.

Common mistakes when comparing Origin solar tariffs

A common mistake is focusing only on the feed-in rate. Another is ignoring import pricing. A third is assuming one state's Origin solar terms apply elsewhere.

How CompareUs can help next

If you are comparing Origin for solar, compare the whole plan using your export pattern and your state. That gives you a much better answer than the headline tariff alone.
