Pricing

Prices effective from 31/10/2025 (9am EST)

Xmas Trading - Our office will be closed from 4pm Friday 19/12/2025 and reopen 9am Monday 05/01/2026. As a result, the last payment date for 2025 will be Wednesday 24/12/2025 from electronic installer submissions submitted by 4pm Friday 19/12/2025. The first payment date in the New Year will be Thursday 08/01/2026. (As a reminder, the STC deeming period is based on the install date not the submission date. So, systems installed in 2025 but not submitted until 2026 will still get the 2025 deeming value.)

UNREGISTERED CERTIFICATES

Solar Installers / Suppliers are paid on 3 business day terms where STCs are submitted electronically. PV System sizes equal too or greater than 50kW, batteries >27kWh & jobs with missing or incorrect data are paid on regulator approval.

POA Jobs are jobs paid on regulator approval due to larger PV or battery size & jobs with missing or incorrect data which needs to be amended or updated prior to lodgement.

PRICE LOCK IN (Unregistered STCs)

If you don't want to take a risk with the spot trading price, why not lock in a forward STC price so you know what you are going to get paid. Right now you can secure a price for up to 6 months. You don't need to lock in all your STCs, you can just decide on volume and period and we can give you a price. For more information go to the following link or contact us on 1300 894 799.

Not happy with the current STC price and want to wait until the price improves. You have the option to place your STCs in the Clearing House. For more information please refer to the following link.
