What Are STCs for Residential Solar Power?
An STC, or small-scale technology certificate, is a government solar rebate. STCs are a part of Australia’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, a component of the government’s Renewable Energy Target. The small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme implements financial incentives to encourage individuals and businesses to install renewable energy systems.
STCs encourage Australian homeowners to invest in Residential Solar systems. In addition, STCs can help you save on the installation cost of your Residential solar system. Since STCS are provided up-front for the expected power generation of your system, they will save you a significant amount on your initial out-of-pocket costs.
Qualified homeowners can claim STCs after installing and running their residential solar systems. STCs are a tradable commodity and can fluctuate in price.
Don’t Miss the Opportune Moment for Rebates
The Australian government currently offers very generous rebates for homeowners who choose to switch to Solar. With the Federal Solar Incentive program (also known as STCs or rebates), you can save a considerable amount on out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, National Solar Network will assist you every step of the way, from choosing the right Residential Solar power option to installation and maintenance.
Now is a highly opportune time to buy Solar power in Australia, as federal rebates make Residential Solar power some of the lowest costing solar systems in the world. However, STCs in Queensland are slowly decreasing over time. They are reducing every year and eventually will no longer exist. That means now is an excellent time to purchase a residential solar system and still receive government pay-offs.
Quality Equipment
If you are thinking about buying a Residential solar system for your home, make sure to buy it from a quality energy provider. By investing in good quality equipment, you’ll protect yourself and safeguard the future of your Residential Solar System.
With government incentives reading each year, if you opt for a cheap or low-grade Residential solar system, you may be setting yourself up for more maintenance costs down the line.
For example, let’s say you opt for poor quality or cheap Residential solar system. Then in a few years, your Residential Solar system malfunctions or stops working efficiently, and you’ll need to upgrade or replace it. Unfortunately, government incentives may be very small or even gone by that time, making your out-of-pocket expenses higher.
Your best option is to get a Residential solar system that can endure distance, heat, and varying weather conditions. Here are great, quality some options we recommend for your Residential solar power.

- If you plan to sell your house one day, a reliable Residential Solar system will increase your home value.
- You’ll rely less on the grid or even completely cut the use of energy from the grid.
- If you’re environmentally conscious and want to reduce your carbon footprint, installing a Residential Solar System will help you do that.
- You’ll potentially get a return on your investment through feed-in tariffs.
- The pay-back period is relatively quick, ranging from 3 to 5 years.
If your quote is slightly higher than you expected, don’t fall victim to missing the most opportune time to invest in Residential Solar systems. While potential buyers may get excited by lower initial costs, they should know that cheap equipment will break down sooner and cost more to repair, replace, or maintain in the long run.
Residential solar systems are a classic case of “you get what you pay for.” The size of your Residential Solar system needs will vary based on how much roof surface you have. However, despite how many panels you have, they probably go through less quality assurance testing if they are poor quality and made from cheap material. Trying to cut corners with a low-end or poor quality Residential solar system is a big gamble for any homeowner whose goal is to reduce their overall costs in the long run.
To find out what the average household electricity bill is, you need to know how much energy the house uses and the cost of electricity.
Let’s look at an example using average Australian household figures.
For example, the average household consumes 20kWh of electricity a day. So, if the average cost of each kilowatt-hour (kWh) is 25 cents, the average house might use $5.00 a day (25c x 20kWh). That would make the monthly price $150 just for the electricity itself. So, if you switch to solar and only self-consume your solar energy to power your house, you can save an average of $1,800 solely on electricity.
In addition to the cost of electricity, traditional utility providers charge supplier fees. Let’s say the daily supply charge is $2 per day. That means you are paying the electricity company $7 per day ($5 for electricity + $2 supply charge). For the average billing cycle, assuming it’s a 90-day cycle, you’d be paying ($7 x 90) $630 for your quarterly electricity bill. Your total yearly electricity costs would be around $2,555 ($7 x 365).
The potential amount you can save with your Residential solar Panel system will depend on how much solar energy you produce and consume. For example, if you use half of the solar power your Residential solar panel system makes, you can sell the other half back to the grid.
Let’s use the same figures from the earlier example of electricity bill costs. If your Residential solar panel system produces 20kWh and you self-consume half, you’ll have 10kWh to sell back to the grid. Assuming the pay-back rate is 8 cents per kWh, you can profit about 80 cents per day. If the average cost of electricity is 25 cents per kWh, you’d be saving $2.50 a day by self-consuming your Residential solar energy.
With an average daily savings of $2.50 on electricity costs plus the feed-in tariff rate of 80 cents a day, you’d be saving $3.30 a day. So in this example, by self-consuming 50% of your Residential solar energy and trading the other half for feed-in tariffs, you could potentially save $1,204.50. Bear in mind that this example assumes that you only self-consume half of your Residential solar energy. Depending on your current electricity bill’s actual cost, you could save much more by self-consuming all of your solar energy.
