What Is the Commercial Solar Rebate in Australia?

A solar rebate is a financial incentive that lowers the initial costs of installing solar panels in Australia, making solar electricity more accessible to you. Both federal and state governments provide these incentives, which frequently take the form of transferable credits or certificates that you can use right away for your purchase. Business solar rebates from the federal government are based on Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs):

Compatible with systems up to 100kW
Used as an initial discount to instantly lower the capital expenditure
Made to hasten the business and industrial sector's adoption of clean energy

In addition to STCs, bigger systems in Victoria may also be eligible for Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs), which offer significant extra savings.

Eligibility Criteria: Is Your Business Qualified?

Although they vary based on the particular rebate program, Australia's eligibility requirements for Energy Rebates are intended to be inclusive. In general, a broad spectrum of enterprises, from small local stores to huge corporations, are eligible for these programs. Here are a few factors that determine eligibility.

Business size:

Eligibility depends on system size, location and approved equipment/installer accreditation

System size:

STCs apply to systems up to 100 kW.

Installer:

The installer must be accredited by the Clean Energy Council, and Agile Energy meets this requirement.

Equipment:

Only CEC-approved panels, inverters, and batteries can be used.

Location-specific rules:

Certain states, such as NSW, have additional eligibility criteria for rebates.

Additional State-Based Incentives

Beyond the federal STC scheme, Agile Energy helps clients access:

NSW Solar Rebate / NSW Solar Power Rebate:

VPP bonus payments (up to ~$1,500) that can be combined with the federal battery rebate; NSW energy efficiency support is delivered via ESCs (ESS), not VEECs

Federal Battery Rebate:

From 1 July 2025, eligible households and small businesses receive ~30% off eligible batteries, applied at point of sale.

Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs):

VEECs can apply to non-residential solar as part of eligible activities in Victoria only.

QLD & WA Programs:

Both jurisdictions provide targeted funding for energy-efficiency improvements and battery storage.

With so many government solar incentives and financing options available to Victorian businesses, switching to solar has never been easier. And, Agile Energy makes it better by stacking federal and state incentives to deliver the lowest net project cost.

Benefits of Going Solar with Rebates

The Commercial Solar Rebate programs offer numerous advantages for solar system investments. Here's how they make your business future-ready and cost-efficient:

Lower upfront cost: The initial outlay needed to build a solar system is greatly reduced by the upfront savings when combined with STCs, VEECs, and state rebates.

Reduced OPEX: Predict your energy costs and lock in affordable power to reduce operating expenses.

Fast ROI: Typical payback for well-matched C&I systems can be 3–6 years, subject to tariff, usage profile, incentives and site conditions. We provide a site-specific model. The savings start adding up quickly.

Sustainability leadership: Demonstrate a sincere dedication to ESG objectives. Take the lead by making wiser, cleaner energy decisions.

Energy independence: Get more control over your energy source. When energy prices fluctuate, this can also be helpful.
