Rebates
Below we brake down State by State whats available for you interms of incentives to go solar.
Federal Rebate Program
Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme
The Federal Government subsidy, officially known as the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), entitles individuals and small businesses large subsidies when installing eligible small-scale renewable energy systems (under 100kW) such as solar PV systems. The size of the system determines the number of small-scale technology certificates (STCs) it’ll receive.
What is a STC?
Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCS) are certificates which system owners or installers can trade in exchange for an upfront discount off the cost of a solar system. STC’s have a dollar value which can fluctuate depending on solar system demand, changes in Government and many other factors. The amount of STC’s you receive for your solar system, your location and the worth of STC’s at the time will determine the subsidy for your system.
Different parts of Australia have different Zone Ratings, based on how much clean, renewable energy can be generated by a solar panel in that area.
To work out how many STCs you would receive for your system you can use the following calculation:
System Size in kW x Zone Rating x Years = Number of STCs
