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 4 which has a rating of 1.185.
This means a 10 kW solar system installed in Malvern during 2024 would give you 82 ST Certificates worth $3271.80 (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.
