Some common types of Solar rebates and incentives in Australia include:
1. Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs): These are created when eligible Solar panels or Solar water heaters are installed. The number of STCs you can claim depends on the system size and location, and they can be traded for a discount on the cost of the system.
2. Feed-in Tariffs: Some states offer feed-in tariffs, where you can receive payment for excess electricity generated by your Solar system that is fed back into the grid.
3. Solar Panel Rebates: Some states offer upfront rebates or discounts on the cost of installing a Solar PV system.
4. Low-interest Loans: Some states offer low-interest loans to help homeowners finance the upfront cost of installing a Solar system.
5. Energy Efficiency Schemes: Some states have energy efficiency schemes that offer incentives for installing Solar panels or other energy-saving measures.
6. Solar Power Buyback Programs: Some electricity retailers offer buyback programs where they purchase excess Solar electricity generated by your system at a set rate.
Overall, these rebates and incentives can help offset the cost of installing a Solar system and make renewable energy more accessible for homeowners in Australia.
