STC Solar Battery Rebate Calculator

Find out how much you could save on a solar battery with the Australian Government STC rebate using our Solar Battery STC Calculator. At ND Solar Group, we help homeowners and businesses across Sydney understand exactly how many Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) their battery system may be eligible for and how this reduces the upfront cost of installation.

The federal battery rebate works in a similar way to solar panel rebates. Eligible battery systems generate STCs based on system type, capacity, postcode zone, and the remaining deeming period. These certificates are then traded for an upfront discount, lowering the price you pay for your battery.

STCs apply to the first 50 kWh of usable capacity.
Optional. Used to estimate rebate value.

How the Solar Battery Rebate Works

Solar battery STCs are calculated based on:

  • Battery system type and usable capacity

  • Your postcode zone and performance rating

  • The year the system is installed

  • The remaining deeming period until 2030

The deeming period represents how many years the system is expected to generate renewable energy benefits. This period decreases each year until the scheme ends in 2030, which means the number of STCs available reduces over time.

Installing a battery sooner can result in a higher rebate and greater overall savings.

While the calculator provides a reliable estimate, final STC numbers depend on system configuration, inverter compatibility, and compliance approvals.

At ND Solar Group, we handle the entire process, including:

  • Battery system design and sizing

  • Inverter compatibility and upgrade advice

  • STC eligibility checks and creation

  • All rebate paperwork and compliance

  • In-house installation by licensed electricians
