Government Solar Incentives

The Government encourages people to use solar energy by incentivising Australian home and business owners. Read on to find out more about these incentives. Or contact our solar experts today at (08) 9303 9810.

Small-scale Technology Certificates – Your Solar Incentive

Home and business owners can take advantage of Solar Incentives in the form of Small-scale Technology Certificates or STCs. STCs are an electronic form of currency supported by the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000. STCs can be used in 2 ways:

  1. Upfront discount– STCs are assigned to a registered solar agent when purchasing your PV system. The STCs reduce the cost of your system.
  2. Selling on the REC – The REC is the Renewable Energy Certificate Registry. This is where people buy, sell and transfer STCs. To do this, people must create the STC first.

Most consumers choose to use STCs to reduce the upfront costs of installation. The value of STCs is based on supply and demand; they have been as low as $18 and as high as $40.

Choose The Right Solar Power System

A report on electricity prices from the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism revealed that electricity costs over the last decade have increased. This is not surprising given the increased electricity demand in households across Australia.

The Executive Director of the Energy Users Association of Australia (EUAA) has commented, “Rising electricity prices are having a major impact on the cost of living and of doing business. All Australians know this and are naturally concerned about it.”

The rising prices are certainly worrying as they will likely continue to increase. One option is to reduce your energy consumption. Simple changes such as unplugging unused electronics or switching to energy-efficient household appliances can lead to hundreds of dollars in yearly savings.

Another alternative that is slowly gaining momentum is solar power panel systems. These panels are installed directly onto your roof and convert energy from sunlight into electricity. Once these systems are in place, they are highly cost-effective and can be used to run all the major appliances in your household. Solar power effectively reduces electricity bills and encourages a cleaner environment with alternative energy. With the right system, you can save hundreds, even thousands of dollars as these panels are constructed to last for decades.
