Commercial Solar

Businesses in South Australia can receive solar rebates and other incentives to install solar panels:

 

• Small Business Energy Efficiency Grant Businesses can apply for a grant of $2,500–$50,000 for purchasing energy equipment or solutions between $5,000–$100,000.

• Solar subsidy The government offers a solar subsidy for businesses.

• Instant asset write-off Businesses can benefit from the government's instant asset write-off scheme, which can shorten the payback period for solar systems to as little as three years.

• Small Scale Technology (STC) Tokens Businesses receive STCs based on the predicted energy production of their solar system. STCs can be traded on the STC clearing house or the open market, and energy companies buy them to meet their renewable energy goals.

• Reduced energy costs Businesses can significantly reduce their energy costs by installing solar panels.

• Improved sustainability Installing solar panels can improve a business's sustainability profile, which can be attractive to environmentally-conscious customers and partners.

 

The federal solar rebate in South Australia can reduce the cost of solar panels by around 30%. The amount of the rebate depends on the system size, location, and how soon the system is installed.
