The solar rebate in New South Wales (NSW) is the perfect government incentive that encourag.es Australians to go green and move away from fossil fuels. If you are looking to discover new ways of saving on your power bills, this section has all the information that you need.<\/p>\n<p>NSW has experienced a resurgence in solar power installations with the highest number of homeowners installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems this year. The government\u2019s objective is quite clear \u2013 they want zero emissions by 2050, helping residents switching to solar power. This is one of the many ways the NSW government is initiating to reduce emissions.

If qualified, they receive loans (interest-free) to install solar battery systems, saving money on energy bills. Qualified homeowners can get a loan up to $9000 (repayable up to 10 years) for a battery retrofit system and up to $14000 (repayable up to 8 years) for a solar PV and battery system. The most obvious benefit is the savings. Nevertheless, you are not only saving money, but you are also contributing to a united goal and you are getting renewable, clean energy \u2013 the epitome of self-reliance.

STC\u2019s can even be traded in or sold for cash, this is usually done by your installer. There is a certain amount of STC\u2019s that you will be eligible for and that depends on your location and the size of the solar power system.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How do STC\u2019s Work?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;faq4&#8243;][vc_column_text]It is best that you let your installer take care of STC\u2019s for you. Your installer will calculate the discount that you are eligible for. After the installation, your installer will trade in your STC\u2019s with cash. You can also claim your STC\u2019s yourself. However, you may pay a higher upfront cost, after that you will have to go to the regulator to register your STC\u2019s and wait in line. It is recommended that you let your installer handle this for you since it is hassle-free and will save your time. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How are STCs calculated?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;faq5&#8243;][vc_column_text]Under the STC scheme, a single megawatt-hour of renewable energy installed (both small scale and large scale) is eligible for STC\u2019s. The amount of renewable generated will determine how many STC\u2019s you are eligible for. This is dependent on where you live and this is called zoning, the Aussie Clean Energy Council will determine the amount of STC\u2019s you get as a resident of New South Wales.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What Solar System Size is Preferred?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;faq6&#8243;][vc_column_text]The rebates will get bigger with larger solar systems but it is advisable not to overdo it. For a medium home with 4-5 people, a 5kW solar system would work great. The cost is around $5000 with a yearly saving of $1700 or more. Generally, a 6.6kW solar power system covers are best for the average home. However, opting for a smaller solar power system will not put you at a disadvantage in terms of rebates. With smaller systems, the rebates are calculated so that the initial cost is covered. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How Much Rebates Can I Claim?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;faq7&#8243;][vc_column_text]Solar rebates in New South Wales can be claimed through the STC scheme. At the least, you can expect 50% of the cost to be catered since the actual amount of rebates cannot be generalised.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a 5kW solar system in NSW should cost you around $7000 and you can claim the STC rebates as discounts at the point of sale, the discount will not be less than $2500. Overall, this is pretty cheap, especially when compared with what people are paying around the world for the same solar system.<\/p>\n<p>We can take the example of New Zealand where the same solar system would cost more than $11,000. The Australian solar rebate has made a huge impact on solar system prices. Now, add the falling global solar system prices and it will give you an idea of why the solar scene is on the rise in Australia.

Once the green energy objectives are met, the program will end.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What is the Process to Apply for a Government Solar Rebate?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;faq9&#8243;][vc_column_text]You can apply for a government solar rebate by either letting your solar company handle it or you can do it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>First, you will have to get the solar system installed, then you will have to gather all the relevant documents and apply for the STC\u2019s with the Aussie Clean Council via their online site and after that, you will have to trade your STC\u2019s. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Are there Disadvantages of Solar Energy?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;faq10&#8243;][vc_column_text]For many Australians, the solar energy option is attractive, regardless of the way you look at it. It is evident that solar panels are getting inexpensive and a major contributing factor to this is the government rebates.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is one downside:<\/p>\n<p>Cloudy weather conditions may affect your daily yield and during those days you may want to tap into the grid. But, if you opt for a solar power system that yields a nominal output but slightly exceeds your daily usage, you will be good.
