Read solar feed-in tariff data

If you're building solar or energy features, you may need to parse feed-in tariff data for consumers who are paid for energy they export to the grid. This page explains where that data sits in the Data API response and what values to expect.

Where solar feed-in tariff data is returned

Solar feed-in tariff data is returned within the energy accounts response (GET /v1/energy/accounts). The path to the relevant object is:

account → plans → plan_detail → electricity_contract → solar_feed_in_tariff

The solar_feed_in_tariff object contains the tariff rates and periods that apply to the consumer's feed-in arrangement. Note that it sits alongside — not inside — the contract's tariff periods; see Understand energy tariff data for how the rest of the tariff structure works.

Data structure

In Australia (CDR), the structure follows the CDR standards for energy accounts. See the API reference for the full schema.

Expected values for unit prices

Feed-in tariff unit prices should be positive, because the consumer is being paid for the energy they export.

Consistency across institutions

Fiskil structures the data it returns consistently, based on the regulatory data standard for the market. The structure is the same across institutions, but the specific fields populated — and the quality of the values — vary depending on what each institution provides. If you encounter unexpected data from a specific institution, contact Fiskil support so it can be investigated and escalated if needed.
