How much is the rebate for solar panels in Mexico, QLD

The Australian Federal Government has incentives for Mexico homeowners to install solar. They give "STCs" (small-scale technology certificates) to people who add a solar power system to their home.

The government divides the country into "Zones" depending on the rated solar potential. You get more support or less depending on your zone. Mexico is in Climate Zone 2 which has a rating of 1.536.

This means a 10 kW solar system installed in Mexico during 2024 would give you 107 ST Certificates worth $4269.30 (at an STC price of $39.90 each).

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