Solar Government Incentives | Cherry Energy Solutions

The right incentives for you

Incentives

Federal, state and local government, as well as some distributors, offer incentives to schools, businesses and other organisations to become more energy efficient. Cherry Energy Solutions are experts in understanding what incentives are available to you and can include incentives and rebates in your energy efficiency proposal if eligible.

VEEC

A VEEC is a Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificate. The Victorian Government distributes VEECs under the VEET scheme. Each certificate represents a saving of one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions.

ESC

An ESC is an Energy Saving Certificate. Each year the NSW Government sets an ESC target incentivising ESS participants to engage in a range of energy saving activities and upgrades. Each certificate represents a saving of one MWh (megawatt hour) and can only be approved by Accredited Certificate Providers.

Local Council Programs

Some local councils provide subsidies for LED and solar PV installations, sometimes as much as up to $5,000.

LGCs

Large-scale generation certificates (LGC’s) are created for eligible electricity generated by a power station including large-scale solar PV systems over 100kW.

STCs

Small-scale technology certificates are created for eligible small-scale renewable energy systems, including solar PV systems under 100kW.
