The government divides the country into "Zones" depending on the rated solar potential. You get more support or less depending on your zone. Malvern is in Climate Zone 3 which has a rating of 1.382.

This means a 10 kW solar system installed in Malvern during 2024 would give you 96 ST Certificates worth $3830.40 (at an STC price of $39.90 each).

If you wait until 2025 for your panels the rebate in Malvern will be reduced. It goes down every year.
