Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STC) Program

To encourage the use of renewable energy, the Australian government has introduced an incentive program called Small-scale Technology Certificates (STC). DBS Australia offers solar battery rebate VIC under STC program tailored specifically for Victorian households. Solar battery storage is a smart way to reduce energy bills while having backup power during outages. 

When paired with an eligible solar system, your battery may be qualified for federal STC. The incentives are applied to your quote as an upfront discount, making the transition to clear energy smooth.

The STC value depends on the system size & your location managed entirely by our professional team. We handle all the paperwork so you do not need to worry about the claim process. You can save hundreds to thousands depending on your configuration. You can consult us for more information or appointment booking.
