The Clean Energy Council (CEC) does not generally pay a separate installer rebate to homeowners. Eligible solar systems may receive a federal discount through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which are usually arranged by an installer or retailer and depend on factors such as system size, location, installation date and eligibility rules. State or territory programs may offer additional support, with their own conditions and funding limits. Check the current guidance on energy.gov.au and use a CEC-accredited installer, who can explain the applicable incentives without guaranteeing the final amount.
