At Solar Sumo, we are committed to providing exceptional residential solar installation services in cities across Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Central Coast, Sunshine Coast, Newcastle, and Canberra. We understand that the upfront costs of installing solar panels can be a barrier for homeowners. That's why we want to help you take advantage of the various government incentives and rebates available to make residential solar installation more affordable.
In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the different government programs and incentives that can significantly reduce the cost of installing solar panels for your home. From federal government schemes to state-based rebates, we'll cover everything you need to know to make an informed decision about residential solar installation.
The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), established by the federal government, is designed to provide financial incentives for homeowners and businesses to install small-scale renewable energy systems. These systems include rooftop solar panels, solar water heaters, and heat pumps. Under the SRES, eligible individuals and businesses can earn small-scale technology certificates (STCs), which can be sold for a profit.
The value of STCs depends on several factors, such as the location, size, and type of solar system installed. The total subsidy you receive will vary accordingly. It's important to note that the SRES is set to expire in 2030, so it's best to take advantage of this incentive while it's still available.
In addition to the federal government incentives, various state governments in Australia offer their own rebate programs to further reduce the upfront costs of residential solar installation. Let's explore some of the state-based rebate programs available:
The NSW government provides two incentive programs to support the installation of solar panels for residential properties. These programs are designed to make solar more accessible and affordable for homeowners in NSW.
Solar Sumo can guide you through the process of accessing these schemes and ensure you receive the full benefits you're eligible for.
