What are Rebates?
How the Solar Rebate Works
The federal solar rebate provides financial incentives through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs).
These certificates:
-
Reduce the upfront system cost
-
Are applied as an instant discount
-
Are calculated based on system size and location
The result? A more affordable solar installation with faster return on investment.
Rebate values decrease gradually each year, meaning early installation delivers greater savings.
Battery Rebates & Energy Storage
For Brisbane homeowners, battery incentives and energy programs can help reduce the upfront cost of installing storage alongside solar.
When available, Queensland rebate rounds and VPP programs make batteries more affordable and financially practical.
Adding a battery allows you to:
-
Use more of your own solar power at night
-
Reduce expensive peak-time electricity usage
-
Lower long-term power bills
-
Protect your home against rising energy prices
-
Improve energy security during outages
With Brisbane’s strong solar conditions, a battery helps you maximise the value of every kilowatt your system produces.

How much do I save?
The federal solar rebate is is not means-tested.
It’s applied directly to your quote as an upfront discount, so you pay less from the start.
The exact rebate amount depends on the size of your system and the number of STCs it generates. See below for a guide
Don't Make these Mistakes
Oversizing to maximise certificates
More panels means more STCs, but a system that's far larger than your actual usage won't save you proportionally more on bills. The rebate is a bonus, not the reason to choose a system size.
Letting the installer keep the rebate
DJ Edwards applies the STC rebate directly as a line item discount on your quote — you see exactly what you're saving.
Not checking CEC accreditation
The STC rebate is only available when the system is installed by a Clean Energy Council accredited installer. DJ Edwards is CEC accredited. Always verify this before signing anything.
