CLAIM STC CREDITS FOR SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEMS
Water heating is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from the average Australian home, accounting for around 23 per cent of household emissions. Installing a climate friendly hot water system can save a family hundreds of dollars off their energy bills each year.
FINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR SOLAR PANELS
Solar panel systems are entitled to a number of small-scale technology certificates (STCs) if the system is eligible. This is based on the amount of electricity in megawatt hours (MWh) the system generates over the course of its lifetime. In addition, your system may be eligible for Solar Credits which multiplies the number of STCs the system can receive.ater heating is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from the average Australian home, accounting for around 23 per cent of household emissions.

HOW TO GET A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE UP FRONT
Once the installation of your solar panel system is complete you can assign your STCs to Nature Coast Plumbing in exchange for a financial incentive such as a discount off the invoice. This is completed by signing an STC Assignment Form.
The financial incentive is usually based on the STC price at the time. The price of STCs fluctuates depending on supply and demand. In most cases STCs are traded at less than $40 in the STC market.
