Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES): This rebate is available nationwide and is administered by the Clean Energy Regulator. It provides a financial incentive in the form of Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) for eligible solar power systems. The number of STCs received is based on the size and location of the system, as well as the amount of electricity it is expected to generate over its lifetime. STCs can be sold or traded to recoup a portion of the system’s cost.

The SRES aims to encourage the installation of small-scale renewable energy systems, such as Solar panels, by reducing the upfront cost for consumers. This helps to increase the uptake of clean energy technology and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

To be eligible for the SRES Rebate, the Solar power system must be installed by a Clean Energy Council accredited installer and meet certain technical requirements. The Rebate is available for residential, commercial, and community installations.

The amount of the Rebate varies depending on the size of the system and the location of the installation. The price of STCs fluctuates based on market demand, so it’s important to check the current value before selling or trading them.

Overall, the SRES Rebate helps to make renewable energy more affordable for consumers and supports the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
