Key takeaways
- Federal STCs taper each year — installing now locks in a bigger rebate.
- Victoria, NSW, ACT and SA still offer their own top-up programs.
- Most homeowners can stack federal + state incentives.
Solar rebates can feel confusing — there's the federal STC scheme plus a patchwork of state programs. Here's the simple version.
Federal STCs reduce the upfront cost of any system under 100kW. The value tapers each year until 2030, so installing now locks in a bigger rebate.
States layer their own programs on top — Solar Victoria, NSW PDRS, the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme and SA battery incentives. Talk to a Sun Pulse consultant to see what your home qualifies for.
