Solar Rebates & Incentives in Adelaide
Find the Best Solar Rebate for Your Home or Business
Switching to solar is more affordable than ever, thanks to a range of rebates and incentives available in Adelaide. Whether you’re a homeowner or a business looking to lower energy costs and invest in clean power, these programs can significantly reduce upfront costs and improve long-term savings.
Here’s a breakdown of the key solar rebates and incentives currently available.
Federal STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates)
The Federal Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) offers Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which help lower the upfront cost of solar panel and battery systems. While STCs primarily apply to solar panels, they also reduce the overall cost of a combined solar and battery setup.
- Who is eligible? Homeowners and businesses installing eligible solar systems.
- What does it cover? A discount on the upfront cost of solar installations, with savings increasing for larger systems.
- Why it matters? The more solar you install, the more STCs you receive, making it easier to afford a high-quality system.
Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs)
Feed-in tariffs (FiTs) allow homeowners with solar panels and batteries to sell excess energy back to the grid, reducing their power bills. While not a direct rebate, a good FiT can help improve the return on your investment in solar and battery storage.
- Who is eligible? Any home or business with a solar system that exports energy to the grid.
- What does it cover? Earn credits for unused solar power sent to the grid.
- Why it matters? A solar battery allows you to store power for later use or export it when rates are higher, maximising savings.

Small Business Energy Grants
Businesses investing in energy efficiency and battery storage may be eligible for grants of up to $50,000 to help offset the cost. These grants support small businesses looking to reduce electricity costs and improve energy reliability with solar and battery solutions.
