Before claiming a solar rebate in South Australia, ensure you meet the eligibility criteria. By [Olivia Bolt](https://energytheory.com/author/olivia%5Fbolt/)November 17, 20235 Mins Read ![JAN23 How to Claim a Solar Rebate in SA](https://energytheory.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/JAN23-How-to-Claim-a-Solar-Rebate-in-SA-1024x683.jpg "How to Claim Solar Rebate in South Australia (SA)?") In South Australia, solar rebates are a great way to adopt renewable energy and get rid of expensive energy bills. These financial incentives are provided by governments to encourage you to install solar energy systems in your home. If you are new to this, and wondering how to claim a solar rebate in SA, find the answers related to its eligibility criteria and plans. ## How to Claim Solar Rebate in South Australia (SA)? There are two ways to claim solar rebates in South Australia. However, to claim it, you first need to be eligible. Once you qualify, you can claim through this process: 1\. First, you need to install your solar panel, and then you can apply for rebates. You need to **provide purchase and installation proof** while applying through email to the South Australian government. 2\. You can claim your [STC rebate](https://energytheory.com/what-is-small-scale-technology-certificate-stc/) by including it in your solar installation as a point-of-sale discount. Due to its potential savings and convenience, most people in South Australia and other places choose this option. Here’s why people choose this option: By doing so, you will be sure that the installer is certified by the Clean Energy Council (CEC) if they agree to be given authority to claim your STC. This is important because if you make a purchase from any uncertified solar agent, you will face a loss and may have to pay the full amount. So, choose a retailer who is registered with the South Australian government. In the upcoming segments, check out how does solar rebate work in South Australia and its eligibility criteria. ### **What is the Eligibility for Solar Rebate in South Australia?** Rebates are like subsidies that users get on solar installation for house and commercial purposes. The following conditions must be met in order to be eligible for a [solar rebate in South Australia](https://energytheory.com/what-are-solar-rebates-in-sa/): * You should have obtained **permission from distributed network service providers** (DNSPs) to connect a battery to the grid. * If you **need a 5 kWh or more solar PV system** on your property or have decided to install a solar panel with a 5 kWh capacity, then you are eligible. * There should be no energy storage system on your property. * Solar Victoria needs to have the solution of energy storage on their approved battery list. * According to the Australian Tax Office notice of assessment, your **earnings should be less than $180,000 a year with tax.** * As per the current council rates, your property value should be less than $3 million to be eligible. * As the owner of the Solar Homes Programme, you **should not have received a prior incentive.** > Cross-Reference: [Relief on energy bills for over 400,000 eligible SA households](https://dhs.sa.gov.au/news/2023/relief-on-energy-bills-for-over-400,000-eligible-sa-households) ### **How does Solar Rebate Work in South Australia?** ![JAN23 Solar rebate new 8: How to Claim Solar Rebate in SA](https://energytheory.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/JAN23-Solar-rebate-new-8.jpg) Since you know how to claim solar rebate in SA, now go through some solar rebate schemes that work in South Australia: #### 1\. **Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs)** This scheme is offered to Australians by the [federal government](https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-a-federal-government-definition-powers-benefits.html) to save money while switching to renewable energy by the year 2030\. The South Australian people can **get up to $2,849 or $3,157 approximately** for installing a 6-kWh system. There are some renewable energy sources that are qualified for STCs, such as wind turbines, air-source [heat pumps](https://energytheory.com/what-is-a-heat-pump/), hydro systems, and solar panels. If you have installed any of these qualified sources, STCs are generated for you, and they are redeemed for AUD amounts. Therefore, the amount you receive determines the number of STCs. However, the amount of STC depends on the rate of each STC, such that if you sell it in the market, the **price range is between $36.50 and $38.50**, while if you sell it in the STC clearinghouse, the price range of each STC is $40, which is fixed. **Also See:** [How to Claim Solar Rebate in WA](https://energytheory.com/how-to-claim-solar-rebate-in-wa/) #### 2\. **The City of Adelaide Sustainability Incentive Scheme** This scheme provides sustainable solutions to its residents and administration. This scheme helps improve energy performance by providing financial incentives for the installation of sustainable technologies. #### 3\. **Home Battery Rebate Schemes** Under this scheme, South Australian users **receive up to $2,000** in subsidies for the installation of [solar battery systems](https://energytheory.com/what-is-solar-battery/). The subsidy for this battery depends on the size of the purchased battery. Therefore, this implies that the bigger your solar batteries get, the higher the subsidy will increase. However, this does not apply to every household. For example, households with energy concessions will get up to $250 per kWh, while regular households will receive up to $150 per kilowatt-hour of capacity. Whether you are eligible as a commercial holder or a household you will receive up to $2,000 under this program. This blog provides complete information on the process of claiming solar rebates in SA. Once your application is approved, the rebate will be granted based on its terms and conditions. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly review the guidelines and complete the required paperwork. **Source**: [Home Battery Scheme closure | Energy & Mining](https://www.energymining.sa.gov.au/consumers/solar-and-batteries/hbs-closurehttps://www.energymining.sa.gov.au/consumers/solar-and-batteries/hbs-closure) Share.
