Government incentives
More ways to save
Small-scale Technology Certificate Rebate
The Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) rebate is Australia’s residential solar rebate and a part of the government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). This incentive helps offset the initial costs of solar installations.
To qualify, your solar panels must be installed by an accredited professional, and the panels and inverter must be from the Clean Energy Council’s approved list.
The rebate you can claim depends on the size of your system, location, and installation date. Best of all, this certificate has real value, and energy companies must purchase it, which helps keep prices competitive.
The STC rebate diminishes each year and will be phased out entirely by 2030. While the financial value of each certificate stays the same, fewer certificates are generated each year. This means the longer you wait, the smaller your rebate will be.
You don’t need to worry about applying for the STC rebate – we do it for you. We calculate the rebate amount and deduct it from your installation cost. But don’t wait too long—now’s the perfect time to make the most of this incentive and start saving with solar.
ACT Solar for Apartments Scheme
The Solar for Apartments Scheme provides up to $100,000 in grants and zero-interest loans to ACT apartment owners to install solar systems in their complexes.
This scheme brings solar energy to multi-unit buildings so that everyone in the complex can benefit from cleaner, cheaper energy.
NSW Battery Incentive
NSW residents can take advantage of the NSW Solar Battery Incentive as part of the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS). This program offers rebates to help homes with rooftop solar systems install batteries to store energy and connect to Virtual Power Plants (VPPs).
The rebates typically range between $1,600 and $4,500, depending on the size of the solar battery. There are also incentives for connecting the battery to a VPP.
ACT Home Energy Support Program
ACT residents may be eligible for up to $5,000 in rebates through the Home Energy Support Program. This incentive can be split into two parts: up to $2,500 towards solar and battery systems and another $2,500 towards other upgrades like reverse-cycle heating and cooling, hot water heat pumps, or ceiling insulation.
You can also combine this rebate with a zero-interest loan of up to $10,000 under the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme. For example, if your total purchase is $15,000, the ACT Government covers $5,000 with the rebate, leaving $10,000 to be paid through the interest-free loan.
ACT Sustainable Household Scheme
The ACT Sustainable Household Scheme makes it easier for ACT residents to upgrade their homes with energy-efficient solutions—offering zero-interest loans with no catches. Eligible homeowners can borrow between $2,000 and $15,000 to cover the cost of energy-saving products, with repayments spread over 10 years.
We offer a range of eligible products under this scheme, including:
- Rooftop solar panels.
- Household battery storage systems.
- Electric heating and cooling systems.
- Hot water heat pumps (HWHP).
- Electric stovetops.
- Electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
- Installation costs for these products.
To qualify for the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme, the unimproved value (UV) of your property must meet specific thresholds. For solar systems, the property’s UV must be $450,000 or less in any year from 2022. For all other upgrades, the UV must be $750,000 or less in any year from 2022. If you live in a unit-titled multi-storey apartment, the UV must be $300,000 or less in any year from 2022.
