Some common types of Solar rebates available in Australia include:
1. Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs): STCs are a form of financial incentive provided by the Australian government to encourage the installation of Solar panels. The number of STCs you receive depends on the size of your Solar system and its location. These certificates can be sold to electricity retailers to offset the upfront cost of installing Solar panels.
2. Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs): FiTs are payments made by electricity retailers to Solar system owners for excess electricity generated by their system that is fed back into the grid. The rates and terms of FiTs vary by state and territory.
3. Solar panel rebates: Some states and territories offer rebates or financial incentives specifically for the installation of Solar panels. These rebates can help offset the upfront cost of purchasing and installing a Solar system.
4. Energy efficiency schemes: Some states and territories have energy efficiency schemes that provide rebates and incentives for energy-saving measures, including Solar panel installations.
5. Low-income household rebates: Some states and territories offer rebates or financial assistance specifically for low-income households to install Solar panels and reduce their energy bills.
It is important to research and understand the specific rebates available in your area before investing in a Solar system. A qualified Solar installer can also provide guidance on available rebates and incentives to help you make an informed decision.
