How much is the rebate for solar panels in Toronto, NSW

The Australian Federal Government has incentives for Toronto 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. Toronto is in Climate Zone 3 which has a rating of 1.382.

This means a 10 kW solar system installed in Toronto 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 Toronto will be reduced. It goes down every year.
