STCS

Small-scale Technology Certificates

Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are a financial incentive to encourage the installation of solar and heat pump water heaters under a Federal Government operated scheme.

STCs are available for solar & heat pump installations in every state of Australia.

One STC is equivalent to a megawatt hour per year (MWh/yr) of electricity displaced by an eligible system.

Solar and heat pump water heaters predominantly use 'clean' renewable energy to heat water, thereby displacing the use of electricity.
