2c/kWh at other times, on the first 50 kWh exported each day. There's no single flat rate: what a kWh earns depends on when it leaves your meter.

WA retailers aren't in the AER's Consumer Data Right plan data, so these rates are from the regulator or tariff source linked on this page (synergy.net.au). Rates change, so check them with your retailer before you rely on them.
How WA feed-in tariffs are set
WA uses a regulated, time-of-export feed-in tariff (DEBS): 2c/kWh off-peak and 10c/kWh during the 3-9pm peak for Synergy customers, on the first 50 kWh/day. Batteries shift solar from the 2c window into the 10c window (or straight into your own evening usage at 30c+).
What an exported kWh is worth
Each kWh you export earns the feed-in rate. Each kWh of solar you use yourself instead saves a kWh at your plan's usage rate, which is on the plan's fact sheet. Our savings calculator estimates both for your postcode, and a home battery stores daytime solar for the evening instead of exporting it.
Common questions
What is the best solar feed-in tariff in Western Australia?
Synergy's feed-in rates are set by WA's DEBS, a time-of-export rate: 10c/kWh for exports between 3pm and 9pm, and 2c/kWh at other times, on the first 50 kWh you export each day (as at 29 September 2026). What a kWh earns depends on when it leaves your meter, so there's no single flat rate to compare. Our WA record also lists Horizon Power (Region-dependent, ~10c/3c).
Is there a minimum feed-in tariff in Western Australia?
DEBS is WA's regulated time-of-export scheme rather than a minimum: Synergy pays 10c/kWh from 3pm to 9pm and 2c/kWh at other times, on the first 50 kWh you export each day. Eligibility, as our WA record gives it: Grid-connected residential customers on Synergy or Horizon networks.
Will my feed-in tariff change over time?
Yes, it can. The rates on this page are reset from time to time; we re-check them against Synergy, Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme (last checked 29 September 2026).
