Participants in these legacy Solar bonus schemes continue to receive payments or feed-in tariffs for the excess electricity generated by their Solar panels that they export back to the grid. The rates and terms of these schemes vary depending on the state and the specific scheme in place.
While these schemes are no longer open to new applicants, they serve as a valuable incentive for early adopters of Solar technology and help to support the transition to renewable energy sources. Participants in these schemes can continue to enjoy the financial benefits of their Solar panels for the duration of the scheme.
It’s important for participants in these legacy Solar bonus schemes to regularly review their electricity bills and ensure that they are receiving the correct payments for the electricity they export to the grid. In some cases, participants may need to provide meter readings or other information to ensure accurate billing.
Overall, these legacy Solar bonus schemes have played an important role in promoting the uptake of Solar energy in Australia and continue to provide benefits to households that installed Solar panels early on.
