Individuals and Businesses can avail financial incentives in the form of small-scale technology certificates (STCs) to install small-scale renewable energy systems such as rooftop solar, solar water heaters and air sourced heat pumps under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). These certificates are issued upfront for a system’s expected power generation and you can get a discount on the price of the system when you assign the right to claim STCs to a registered agent.
