The process of claiming Solar rebates in Australia typically involves the following steps:
1. Choose a registered installer: Homeowners and businesses should select a Solar installer who is accredited by the Clean Energy Council (CEC) in order to be eligible for rebates. The installer will help to design and install the Solar power system according to the requirements of the relevant Rebate program.
2. Obtain quotes: Get quotes from different accredited installers to compare prices and services. Make sure to ask about the available rebates and incentives that may apply to your specific situation.
3. Apply for rebates: The installer will assist in completing the necessary paperwork to apply for rebates, such as the Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) or other incentives offered by state or territory governments. These rebates are typically claimed on behalf of the customer and are deducted from the total cost of the Solar power system.
4. Install the Solar power system: Once the Rebate application has been approved, the accredited installer will proceed with installing the Solar power system at the property. Make sure to comply with any regulations and guidelines set by the relevant authorities.
5. Receive the Rebate: After the installation is completed and the system is operational, the Rebate amount will be deducted from the total cost of the Solar power system. This reduces the out-of-pocket expense for the homeowner or business.
It is important to note that the availability and amount of rebates may vary depending on the location and the specific Rebate program. It is recommended to consult with a registered installer or check the official government websites for the most up-to-date information on Solar rebates in Australia.
