Government Incentives and STCs
Eligible households and businesses in NSW benefit from Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which act like a rebate and are already factored into most quotes. Depending on your system size, this can reduce costs by $2,000–$3,000 or more. You can learn more about this on our Solar Rebates & Incentives page.
