VIC commercial solar installations can access the following incentive schemes.
Adjust system size to see your VIC incentive breakdown at current certificate prices.
The zone multiplier determines how many STCs are generated per kilowatt of installed capacity. A multiplier of 1.185 means a 100 kW system in VIC generates 474 STCs over the remaining deeming period (4 years to 2030), worth approximately $18,486 at current certificate prices.
VEECs stack on top of STCs, making Victoria one of the most incentivised states for commercial solar. Regional Victorian installations (outside metro Melbourne postcodes) receive an additional 4% regional factor bonus.
