Why is it better to use your STC rebate on a higher quality solar power system?
Synopsis
STCs or Small-scale Technology Certificates are currently available and can be used as a discount on your solar panel system. However, it is important to note that they will not be available indefinitely. Investing in a high-quality solar panel system now will not only result in a higher yield but also ensure that you do not have to spend significantly more money in the future if you need to replace your system without the STC discount. We recommend making your system selection while the rebate is available and investing in the highest quality solar panels to maximise the yield and performance of your system, especially considering the higher-than-average ambient temperature and sunlight in our region.
By investing in a better quality system, you are ensuring a longer performance life and a greater return on investment, as cheaper modules can be destroyed at a faster rate in our climate. We highly suggest using the STC rebate wisely and considering it as a one-time opportunity. Therefore, while you have the chance to make use of the rebate, we advise selecting the highest quality solar panel systems available.

STCs are designed to discount the system, they're not going to be around forever. so making the crucial decision now of buying a quality solar panel system is doubled over, because in the future if you don't have the STC discount and you've had to replace that system, you now are out for a lot more money than just the $3,500 to $5,000 that you're going to spend now on your solar panel systems. So we highly suggest using your high-quality systems, because you consider yourself getting a rebate or STC discount probably once, because they're probably going to be phased out.
We suggest to our customers whilst you've got the STC rebate, use it wisely and make your panel selection or your system selection based on that. We believe you need to be picking the highest quality solar panel systems. We do have a higher-than-average ambient temperature and a lot of sunlight, so they can destroy cheaper modules at a faster rate than the better quality panels. And you like to maximise the yield of our solar panels by putting a better quality system on. It always pays off better to spend a little bit more on a better quality system, therefore enduring a longer performance of the system and giving you a greater return on investment.
