Solar rebate update: STC deeming period reduces from 2026

The federal Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) scheme is winding down toward its 2030 end date. Each year, the deeming period shortens by one year, reducing the upfront rebate on new solar installations. From 2026, the deeming period drops to 4 years (down from 5 years in 2025), meaning fewer STCs per kilowatt installed and a smaller upfront rebate. Perth homeowners who install in 2025 or lock in quotes before the 2026 reduction apply get the higher rebate value. Full details are available on the Clean Energy Regulator's STC page.

Act before the rebate reduces. Call 1300 717 583 for a free quote today.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Services in Perth

Perth homeowners on the Synergy network are typically covered by the Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme (DEBS). Under DEBS, Synergy pays 10c/kWh for solar exported during peak hours (10am–3pm, 7 days a week) and 2.5c/kWh during all other times. Maximising your system's output during peak hours, particularly with a west-facing array, can significantly improve your bill offset. Speak with our team about system orientation as part of your design. Note: the 2.5c/kWh off-peak rate is Synergy's current DEBS rate for new connections (post-July 2020). Always verify current rates with Synergy directly.
Western Power limits single-phase residential connections in Perth to a 5kW inverter export capacity. Systems installed above this threshold may require approval or a network upgrade. If you are unsure whether your existing system complies, our expert Perth electricians can inspect your system and confirm compliance with current Western Power requirements.
We recommend a professional inspection every 2–3 years for residential Perth solar systems, or annually for commercial installations. Perth's climate accelerates certain types of degradation: coastal suburbs experience salt air corrosion, while inland areas face high UV and dust buildup. A structured maintenance inspection catches developing faults before they become costly failures.
In most cases, yes. Battery storage can be retrofitted to existing solar systems, though compatibility depends on your current inverter type, system size, and switchboard configuration. Our expert Perth electricians assess your system before recommending any battery storage solution to ensure a safe, compliant installation.
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are a federal government incentive for eligible solar installations. The number of STCs your system generates depends on its size and location. Perth's high solar irradiance zone means Perth homeowners typically receive more STCs than most other Australian cities. STCs are usually assigned to your installer at point of sale, reducing your upfront cost. Note: the STC rebate reduces each year as the scheme winds toward its 2030 end date. Only expert and accredited installers can access STCs on your behalf. See the Clean Energy Regulator's STC page for full details. Call us for current rebate estimates.
A sudden drop in production is more often related to the inverter, wiring, or connections than the panels themselves. Panel degradation is gradual (typically 0.5–1% per year), whereas inverter faults, DC isolator failures, and loose connections can cause rapid output drops. A structured diagnostic inspection identifies the root cause before any parts are replaced.
Yes. Ares Energy & Electricals holds SAA (Solar Accreditation Australia) accreditation and our team carry Western Australian Electrical Worker Licences. We are also a NETCC Approved Solar Retailer. All solar work is carried out by expert professionals and complies with AS/NZS 3000 (Australian Wiring Rules) and relevant Standards Australia requirements.
The federal STC (Small-scale Technology Certificate) rebate reduces each year as the deeming period shortens on the path to the scheme ending in 2030. In 2026, new solar installations generate fewer STCs than in 2025, which means a smaller upfront discount. The exact reduction depends on your system size and postcode zone. For current rebate estimates, call Ares Energy on 1300 717 583.
Yes, the federal STC rebate is still active and available to Perth homeowners in 2025 and 2026. However, the value reduces each year. A typical 6.6kW system in Perth still qualifies for a significant rebate. Contact us for a current quote including all applicable incentives.
