Can a school earn an income from exporting surplus power to the electricity grid?
Schools that install solar power systems funded under the NSSP may have the option to export surplus energy generated by their systems back to the electricity grid. This will be subject to their local electricity retailer and feed-in arrangements. Several states have introduced, or are considering introducing, feed-in tariff schemes to encourage the use of solar PV systems and, possibly, other forms of renewable energy.
