STCs explained for Queensland homeowners
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are a federal government incentive. When you install solar, your system generates certificates based on its size, location, and the years remaining in the scheme (ending 2030). Queensland is in STC Zone 2.
Example: 6.6kW system in QLD
Approximately 41 STCs = $1,353 – $1,640
Your installer is legally required to disclose the value of STCs they claim on your behalf. If your quote doesn't mention STCs, ask before signing.
