REBATES, INCENTIVES & SUBSIDIES – HOME SOLAR

Energy Matters has a special arm of its operations that deals purely with community and residential solar power grid connect system rebates and subsidies, removing the hassle out of you taking advantage of these incentives.

The Solar Credits subsidy offers substantial savings depending on the size and location of installation and applies to new installations of small-scale renewable energy generators eligible under the scheme. As with many government rebates there are some conditions attached.

1. Solar credits will apply to the first 1.5 kilowatts (kW) of capacity installed.
2. Generation from capacity above 1.5 kW will still be eligible for the standard 1:1 rate of RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates) creation. Renewable Energy Certificates
   accompany solar power equipment purchases and can be traded for a point of
   sale discount.

However, these conditions still mean most Australians have access to the incentive!

Live in an apartment complex?

If you live in an apartment complex you are also eligible to apply for a subsidy under the program. In order to be eligible you must satisfy the following three additional criteria:

• Applicant must be an owner occupier of an apartment within the apartment block
• You must have permission from body corporate
• You need to provide proof that the panels are owned by you (an invoice from Energy Matters will suffice)
