Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs): STCs are a form of financial incentive for installing renewable energy systems, including solar panels. The number of STCs you receive depends on the size of your solar system and the geographical location of your property. These certificates can be sold to electricity retailers or traders, providing a discount on the cost of the solar system.

STCs are created to encourage the uptake of renewable energy systems and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The value of STCs can fluctuate depending on market conditions, so it’s important to keep track of the current market price when considering installing Solar panels.

To claim STCs, you will need to ensure that your Solar system meets the eligibility criteria and that it is installed by a Clean Energy Council accredited installer. Once the system is installed, you can assign the STCs to an eligible agent, who will then provide you with a financial benefit in return.

Overall, STCs can help make Solar panel installation more affordable and provide a financial incentive for households and businesses to transition to renewable energy sources. It’s worth exploring this option if you are considering investing in Solar technology for your property.
