The incentives make it easier than ever to take control of your energy usage and lower household costs with clean, renewable energy.

Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (STC)

n addition to the state-level incentives, the federal Small Scale Renewable Energy Scheme offers financial benefits in the form of Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs).

These certificates act as a type of rebate and are applied at the point of sale, reducing the overall cost of your solar system.

The number of STCs you receive depends on:

1

At 3P Solar, we manage this process for you to ensure your eligible STC discount is applied directly to your system cost—no paperwork or hassle on your end.
