Solar incentives & savings
Transparent guidance for your energy future
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) — A Federal Government program that may help reduce the upfront cost of eligible solar systems. STC values are subject to market conditions and system eligibility and are not guaranteed. Eligibility criteria and certificate creation depend on installation factors and scheme rules.
Queensland Government rebates or support programs, where mentioned, are provided as general information only. Eligibility requirements, available funding, and program terms may change without notice. Programs can be modified, paused, or replaced at any time.
Solar Time Energy may refer to available government incentives and rebate programs from time to time. Any such incentives or rebates are subject to eligibility criteria, government approval, and program availability at the time of installation. Customers should rely on the relevant government program guidelines and final approval criteria.
Any savings figures shown on this website, including examples such as “$6 per day for 24 months for a small home”, are estimates only.
These estimates are based on typical household electricity usage patterns, assumed system size, current electricity tariffs, and standard performance assumptions at the time of calculation.
📉 Actual savings will vary depending on a range of factors:
- Household energy usage & consumption patterns
- Solar system size, orientation, and installation configuration
- Weather conditions, shading, and seasonal solar generation
- Electricity tariff changes (retail rates, feed-in tariffs)
- Eligibility for any applicable government incentives or rebates
Savings figures are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not guaranteed. No representation is made that any customer will achieve the estimated savings shown. Past performance or modelled estimates do not predict future results.
🏷️ STC market reminder
The value of Small-scale Technology Certificates fluctuates based on supply and demand. Any reduction in upfront cost depends on assignment of certificates at the time of installation.
☀️ No guarantee on savings
Solar production and utility rates evolve. Estimated daily or monthly savings should be considered a guide only — not a promise of actual electricity bill reduction.
📋 Always verify eligibility
Government schemes (including state-specific rebates) have strict criteria. Solar Time Energy provides information in good faith but does not determine final approval.
