The rebate is in the form of Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which are created for every megawatt-hour of electricity that the solar system is expected to generate over a 15-year period. The number of STCs a system is eligible for depends on its size, location, and the amount of renewable energy it is expected to generate.

STCs can be sold on the open market or used to reduce the upfront cost of installing a Solar system. The value of STCs can fluctuate based on market conditions, so it’s important to keep this in mind when considering a Solar installation.

To claim the Rebate, the system must be installed by a Clean Energy Council accredited installer and meet all relevant Australian standards and guidelines. Once the system is installed, the installer will provide the homeowner with the necessary documentation to claim the Rebate.

Overall, the STC Rebate helps make Solar power more affordable for homeowners and encourages the uptake of renewable energy in Australia.
