Solar credits (original) (raw)

Solar credits are an initiative of the Australian Federal Government used as a multiplier to increase the number of small-scale technology certificates (STCs) able to be created for eligible solar panel, wind and hydro energy systems. Solar credits apply to small generation units and create multiple small-scale technology certificates for the eligible part of their capacity. This applies to the first 1.5 kilowatts (kW) for eligible mains connected systems. Off-grid systems may be eligible for solar credits for the first 20 kW if an annual capacity limit is not reached.
