Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES)

Program Overview

Reach out to us directly for quick support, project inquiries, or opportunities.

When you install an eligible solar system, it creates Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). We take the value of those certificates off your quote up front, so there’s nothing to claim back later. We’ll confirm exactly what your system qualifies for and show you where the discount lands on your price.

Adding storage? Home batteries now come with their own federal discount through the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, and we can stack that on top of your solar.
