Questions and answers
Australian Capital Territory solar and battery support FAQs
Does every Australian Capital Territory property receive the same support?
No. The available support can depend on the program, property, household or business type, system design, location, product and installation requirements. Confirm current terms before signing a contract.
Is a state scheme the same as federal STCs?
No. Federal STCs are part of the SRES. A state or territory offer may be a separate rebate, loan, Virtual Power Plant incentive, tariff or targeted support program with different rules.
Who confirms my final eligibility?
The relevant program administrator and an appropriately accredited installer can explain the current requirements, proposed system and final quote. Solar Alliance does not approve claims.
Solar Alliance is a digital marketing agency. We are not a solar retailer, installer, financier or government agency. We do not sell systems, create STCs, or decide rebates or loans. Scheme information is general only and can change. We cannot guarantee eligibility, pricing, finance or savings. Quotes and installs (if any) are provided by independent businesses.
