Government Incentives and Feed In Tariffs

There are big incentives to encourage homeowners to convert to solar power.  

Small Scale Renewable Energy Certificates (STCs)  

Every Solahart power system qualifies for STCs. The number of STCs varies depending on the size of the system installed with the most being available for our 5 kW system.  

Solar Credits Scheme  

Under the Solar Credits Scheme you get 3 times the number of STCs for the first 1.5kW of the system capacity.  That can reduce the initial cost of a system significantly. Your local Solahart Expert will be able to advise you about the tariffs in your area and incentives available. 

Feed In Tariffs  

Some state governments and electricity providers offer preferential feed in tariffs, to provide a further financial incentive to switch to solar power.

The common sytsem offered today is called a net feed in tariff. With a net feed in system you use the electricity you generate. Electricity can still be purchased at night, when you are not generating it. Any excess electricity generated is sold back to your electricity provider. The saving is represented as a credit on your electricity bill.
