FAQ's
Small-scale technology certificates, or STCs, are a tradable commodity attached to eligible installations of renewable energy systems (including solar panels, solar water heaters and heat pumps). Under the Federal Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), when you install an eligible system, you may claim a set number of these STCs.
The financial value of an STC is dependent on the supply of and demand for STCs. As a result this value can be variable from day to day. Price is held when complete and correct claims are received at our office. Please contact us for an update on current pricing.
If you are claiming the STC payment as the system/home owner you do not need to register with STC Trading Services, simply ensure the form is completed in full and provide your bank account information in the payment details section for payment via direct deposit. Installers, suppliers and builders wishing to trade regularly are required to complete an account application form in order to establish a trading account. Please phone our office and we can provide the appropriate forms.
The number of STCs is based on the amount of electricity in megawatt hours (MWh):
generated by your small-scale solar panel, wind or hydro system over the course of its lifetime of up to 15 years; or
displaced by your solar water heater or heat pump over the course of its lifetime of up to 10 years.
Unregistered STCs do not attract GST. All unregistered STCs will be paid excluding GST. When we buy registered STCs, they will be plus GST.
