Australia’s main solar rebate is the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, which usually reduces the upfront cost of an eligible solar panel system through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). The installer generally creates and assigns the certificates on your behalf, with their value reflected in the quote, while the amount depends on factors such as system size, location and installation date. Some states and territories also offer separate rebates or loans, and battery incentives may have different rules. Eligibility and available support can change, so check energy.gov.au and confirm the details with an accredited installer before signing a contract.
