Solar Power Rebate Scheme
· The Solar Credits Scheme is a rebate scheme for installing PV panels. It replaces the old $8,000 solar rebate.
· Solar Credits Scheme is open to consumers and businesses alike
· Solar Credits Scheme is not means tested so all income levels are eligible.
· Solar Credits Scheme utilises the existing Renewable Energy Certificate (RECs) scheme but with an additional incentive.
· Major financial benefit: Receive 5 times the number of RECs for the first 1.5 kW of system capacity, redeemable as an upfront discount off the cost of your Solar PV system.
· If you received the $8,000 and 1 x REC’s rebate, you cannot receive the new Solar Credits Scheme 5 x REC’s rebate
You do not have to sell your REC’s to the company supplying your panels. You can choose not to sell them at all or to sell them to whichever buyer you choose.
