Government Incentives for Homeowners
Switching to solar isn’t just good for the environment—it’s also supported by a range of government incentives that make it more affordable than ever. From generous upfront rebates through Small‑Scale Technology Certificates (STCs), to ongoing savings with NSW feed‑in tariffs, and even interest‑free loan options, homeowners have multiple ways to reduce costs and maximise returns. At Pace Group, we simplify the process by handling the paperwork and guiding you through every available benefit, so you can enjoy the rewards of clean energy with confidence and ease
Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs)
The Australian Government’s Small‑Scale Renewable Energy Scheme provides homeowners with valuable financial incentives when installing eligible solar systems. These incentives come in the form of Small‑Scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which can be traded for an upfront discount on your system—often worth between $3,000 and $5,000 depending on the size of your installation. At Pace Group, we take care of the entire process, from calculating your entitlement to handling the paperwork, so you can enjoy the savings without the hassle.
NSW Feed-in Tariffs
Once your solar system is up and running, you’ll not only save on your own electricity bills but can also earn credits for the excess power you send back to the grid. This is known as a feed‑in tariff, and in NSW, rates currently range from 5 to 20 cents per kilowatt‑hour, depending on your electricity retailer. These credits can be applied directly to your bill, helping you reduce costs even further and maximise the return on your solar investment.
Interest-Free Solar Loans
For many households, the biggest barrier to going solar is the upfront cost. That’s why there are interest‑free loan programs available to make solar more accessible. These financing options allow you to spread the cost of your system over manageable repayments, often with no upfront payment required. Our team can guide you through the available options and help you choose a plan that fits your budget—so you can start enjoying the benefits of clean energy right away, without financial strain.
