STC Calculator (Solar Rebate Calculator)

Find out how much you could save with the Australian Government solar rebate using our easy-to-use STC calculator. At ND Solar Group, we help homeowners and businesses across Sydney understand exactly how many Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) their system may be eligible for and what that means in real dollar savings.

The federal solar rebate works by reducing the upfront cost of your solar system. The more STCs your system is entitled to, the larger the discount applied at installation. Our calculator gives you a fast and accurate estimate based on your location, system size, and installation year.

We use your postcode to find your STC zone rating.
Use the quoted system size. Example 6.6kW, 10kW, 13kW.
Deeming period reduces each year until 2030.
Optional. Used to estimate your rebate value.
Estimates only. Final STCs depend on eligibility, approvals, design, and scheme rules.

How the Solar Rebate Works

When you install a solar system, you may be eligible to receive STCs under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. These certificates are created based on:

  • The size of your solar system in kilowatts

  • Your postcode zone and solar output rating

  • The year the system is installed

  • The remaining deeming period until 2030

Each STC has a market value. These certificates are typically assigned to your installer in exchange for an upfront discount on your system, reducing the amount you pay out of pocket.

As the deeming period reduces each year, the number of STCs available also decreases. This means installing sooner generally results in a higher rebate.

Get an Accurate Solar Quote, Not Just an Estimate

While the calculator provides a strong guide, final STC numbers can only be confirmed once your system design, panel orientation, and network approvals are completed.

That is where ND Solar Group comes in.
