Federal Government Incentives
Australia’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) provides upfront discounts on eligible solar installations across the country.
The Federal Government’s STC scheme provides a point-of-sale discount on solar installations. The number of STCs — and therefore your discount — depends on your system size and location. For a 10kW Melbourne system, this is typically $3,000–$5,000 off.
Key Details
- All residential and small commercial solar
- Systems up to 100kW
- CEC accredited installer required
- Applied automatically at time of installation
- Discount already built into your quote
Commercial and industrial solar installations over 100kW can generate LGCs which can be sold on the REI registry for additional revenue, reducing the effective cost of large-scale clean energy.
ELIGIBILITY
- Systems over 100kW

- Must register with the Clean Energy Regulator
