  • What is the 'buyback rate' for the solar energy I export?

    The rate at which Aurora buys back the excess energy you produce depends on the size of your solar system and whether you are a residential or business customer. For solar PV systems under 10kW the rate is the same as the tariff you pay Aurora for the energy you use:

    • Residential rate

    Tariff 31 All kWh

    • Business rate

    This will be at the rate of your current business tariff. The current general business tariff is Tariff 22

    *(rates current as at September 2012)

    For large solar systems 10kW and over the buyback rate will be determined on a case by case basis. If your system is 10kW or over please contact Aurora on 1300 13 2003.
