How much is the solar rebate in NSW under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme in 2021?
Well, under this scheme, numerous small-scale technology certificates (STC’s) are awarded to home and small business owners who install solar panels on the roof of their properties. The number of STCs awarded against the system depends upon its size. For every 1,000 kWh of estimated power production (from the date of installation till the end of 2030), one STC is awarded.
According to Federal Energy Minister, the number of STC’s given out will be decreased each year and over the next 10 years, the scheme will be phased out in 2030.
For instance, if you get the system in 2021, you will receive STC’s based on 10 years of energy production (that is till 2030).
If you are living in NSW, you would be happy to know that New South Wales receives a sufficient amount of sunlight to generate electricity. A 10 kW system in NSW gets around 138 STC’s in 2021 and roughly gets a rebate of $5000 – $5500. This is not at all bad.
Note – The monetary value of the STC is variable and it fluctuates depending upon the demand and supply.
