When you compare Origin energy plans, tell us you have solar panels and we’ll show you the feed-in tariff that’s available with each plan. All electricity customers with solar panels are eligible to sign up to Solar Boost – our energy plan with a higher than standard feed-in tariff.
Looking to buy a solar system? Our best solar plan (in terms of offering a high feed-in tariff) is available when you purchase your solar system from us and sign up to Solar Boost Plus.
Solar Boost Plus
This plan is exclusive to customers who buy a solar system with us.
On Solar Boost Plus you’ll get our highest (best) feed-in tariff. This is what you can earn back on your electricity bill when your solar system produces more energy than you’re using. Any left-over energy gets sent back into the electricity grid and we pay you for it.
You can get this solar system package with $0 upfront cost – pay it off in easy interest-free instalments for 24 months.
Solar Savings Guarantee
In QLD, NSW and SA, Solar Boost Plus customers are presented with the bonus option of signing onto our Solar Savings Guarantee. Our savings guarantee is also available to SME customers.
Once you've picked out your solar system, we’ll calculate what we think you’ll save over the next 2 years with solar. This is your solar savings guarantee. If after 2 years, you haven’t reached your savings guarantee – you’ll get the difference as a credit on your bill.
Solar Boost – BYO solar system
If you’re a high-exporting solar customer and bringing your own solar system to the mix, Solar Boost is our best plan for you. You’ll get a higher-than-standard feed-in tariff. Meaning, any left-over energy generated by your solar system will be “fed back” into the grid and we’ll pay you for it.
Plans for solar customers with lower energy exports
All our plans come with a standard retailer feed-in tariff. Meaning, we’ll still pay you for any solar energy you do happen to feed into the grid – it’s just at a lower rate. Customers expecting to have low exports are likely to find better savings when they sign up to Origin Go or Origin Everyday Rewards.
