STCs (small-scale technology certificates) are government financial incentives designed to boost renewable energy uptake in Australia.
Depending on the size of the system you install and where you live, the number of STCs you’re eligible for (and therefore the total amount) will vary.
An STC is just a fluctuating value, calculated using:
Solar system kW x zone rating x deeming period = number of STCs.
Plico incorporates STCs into our pricing. Although STC prices fluctuate, our smaller systems usually have around $3000 in STC ‘rebates’, with our larger, 3-phase systems experiencing approximately $6000 in discounts.
All you have to do is, on the day of installation, sign your STCs over to the local installer and we will do everything else from there.
You can find out more by visiting the Clean Energy Regulator website.
The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), which issues STCs for solar panel installations, is scheduled to phase out by 2030.
