Dodo Energy offers decent prices on its electricity and gas plans in NSW and VIC. It's only signing up electricity customers in QLD but the rates aren't the best around. Market offers in SA for new customers are currently paused.
Dodo also won't lock you into a contract on any of its plans so you're able to switch providers whenever you want.

Solar energy
How much is Dodo Energy's solar feed-in tariff?
Dodo Energy doesn't offer dedicated solar energy plans, but you can still access feed-in tariffs on its usual electricity plan.
Dodo Energy ranks relatively low on the Green Electricity Guide with a rating of 3.39/10.
The guide offers Australian consumers information to help them compare energy retailers' green practices and make environmentally-conscious decisions.
However, Dodo Energy does offer GreenPower add-ons if you want your electricity usage matched by Dodo with the purchase of renewable energy that's exported to the grid.
10% GreenPower: 99c/kWh
100% GreenPower: 9.90c/kWh
Keep in mind. Of the energy providers we've compared, Dodo Energy has one of the most expensive GreenPower rates. Other providers tend to charge up to 5c/kWh.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
