Small Scale Technology Certificates

System Size 

If the PV (photovoltaic system) is 100 kW or less in power and generates no more than 250 mWh's of electricity per year then the system in eligible for STC's, including the initial claim of Solar Credits.

If the system is larger than 100 kW and generates more than 250 mWh's of electricity per year then this is considered to be a power station and application needs to be made directly to the Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator for a power station. 

Solar Credits Calculation 

Solar systems up to 1.5kW in power are eligible for solar credits, which equal 5 times the standard amount of STCs. i.e. Melbourne (Zone 4) 1.185 x (system power)1.5 kW x (STCs multiplier) 5 x (deeming period) 15 years = 1.185 x 1.5 x 5 x 15 = 133 STCs 

STCs can then be sold for a financial incentive which is deemed at a variable rate depending on market fluctuations.

i.e. 133 STCs x $24 = a $3192.00 return.

For systems then sized over the first 1.5 kW, STCs are calculated at the standard rate of 1:1.

For instance a 10 kW solar system calculation works as follows:

The first 1.5 kW of the system = 133 STCs

The next 8.5 kW of system = 1.185 (Zone 4) x 8.5 kW (power) x 15 (years) = 151 STCs

Total RECs = 284 STCs

Financial return = i.e. 284 x $24 = $6816.00

The number of Small Scale Technology Certificates (STCs) will vary with the size of the system you install.
