Solar Grants and Incentives in Australia

Data compiled: February 2026

Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs)

The federal government's Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme provides upfront discounts on solar installation costs through STCs. Homeowners can reduce system costs by $2,500-$4,500 depending on system size and location. STCs are created based on the amount of electricity your system will generate over its lifetime, making larger systems eligible for higher rebates.

Feed-in Tariffs

All Australian electricity retailers must offer feed-in tariffs for excess solar energy exported to the grid. Rates vary by state and retailer, typically ranging from 5-12 cents per kWh. Premium feed-in tariffs are available in some areas, and comparing retailer offers can maximize your solar returns.

Local Financing Info for Australia

Local Financing Options

In Adelaide, check state or territory schemes first, then compare offers from local banks and accredited installers. Many Australian providers support bundled finance for solar, battery, and switchboard upgrades in one package.

National Financing Programs

At national level, STCs lower effective upfront cost while financing covers the balance. Review interest structure, balloon payments, and eligibility conditions tied to approved components and installers.

Before You Apply

Prepare your latest electricity bills, roof information, and at least two installer proposals. Confirm whether the finance package includes batteries, electrical upgrades, and grid-connection costs, and ask how grants/rebates are applied in your cash-flow timeline.
