Under the SRES, homeowners, small businesses, and community organizations can receive a discount on the upfront cost of installing a Solar panel system. This discount is typically applied at the point of sale, reducing the out-of-pocket expenses for the system.
To be eligible for the Rebate, the Solar panel system must be installed by a Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited installer and meet certain quality and performance standards. The amount of the Rebate varies depending on the size of the system and the location of the installation.
The SRES is designed to encourage the uptake of renewable energy technologies and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By providing financial incentives for Solar panel installations, the program aims to make clean energy more accessible and affordable for Australian households and businesses.
In addition to the SRES, some state and territory governments offer their own Solar Rebate programs to further support the adoption of Solar energy. These programs may have different eligibility criteria and Rebate amounts, so it’s important to check with your local government or energy provider for more information.
