Government Solar Rebate For Commercial

What solar rebates and incentives are on offer?

Australian Goverment Solar Rebate 1

Small business loans and solar rebates

Is your solar PV system less than 100kW?

If so, you are eligible to benefit from the federal government’s Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) program. Under this scheme, business are eligible for Renewable Energy Certificates (REC’s).

These certificates can be sold to REC’s Traders to recoup the cost of installation.

To qualify for these certificates, your PV system needs to be:

  • Smaller than 100kW in size
  • Installed by a Clean Energy Council installer
  • From the Clean Energy Council approved list of equipment

Solar incentives for bigger businesses

For businesses with larger solar PV systems and high energy consumption, Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGC) are also available.

Like the STC program, these can be resold to recoup the cost of commercial solar installation.

Unlike STCs however, LGC certificates can easily be worth a lot, depending on the size of your commercial solar PV system.

For businesses with large PV systems and high energy usage, this can be a sizeable rebate!

Feed-in tariffs

What happens if your commercial solar system generates more power than you actually need?

In Australia, feed-in tariffs are in-place or under consideration in every state and territory. If your solar PV system is creating excess energy, you may be reimbursed for feeding your extra power back into the grid.

To check whether your business is eligible for feed-in tariffs, contact your state or territory government. You can also learn more from the Parliament of Australia here.
