Mine is set up as advised on this list a long time ago....

I'm not using the bills feature for this, but a scheduled transaction
with the splits in place and some "placeholder" numbers to ensure the
transaction has the correct debit / credit entries would do well

So the solar feed in is 
Income:Power:FIT
There is 
Expenses:Utilities:Power
and a payment from (or to) 
Assets:Bank:SomeAccount

I don't have to follow GST as the solar is not related to a business.

I assume you're in Strylia, and the Income is not taxable.
