    MoveLater2 Home Solar - Qld

    aaarrrggghhhhh !!!

    Just checking my electricity bills to see why they've gone up and realised I'm not getting the 8cent feed in tariff !

    Now the electricity company tells me the gov't got rid of it last July ? News to me.

    Anyway looking on the interwebs it seems that many electricity companies now pay the tariff instead of the government. But QENERGY doesn't.

    This effectively means I am generating power for THEM for FREE and getting nothing in return, not even lower prices.

    Should the company not have advised me / contacted me at the time to advise the changes?

    Anyone got any advice or suggestions for the best energy companies (by best I mean "least bad") ?

    Thanks.

    Well as I understand it, all systems do unless they have storage batteries?

    no. if your solar is producing 2000watts and your using 3000watts of power, there will be no flow to the grid.

    depending on what system you have, if your feeding into the grid, your meter just runs backwards, reducing the bill.
