Clean Energy Regulator Axing STC’s On Replacement Panels

Clean Energy Regulator Axing STC's On Replacement Panels

The REC Registry has advised its members that as of the 31st of January 2018, STC's can no longer be issued for replacement panels.

The 'loophole' of claiming STC's for replacement panels has been a source of controversy in the solar industry for some time. The rebate offered is based on how much carbon will be offset by the panels over the approved deeming period. Replacing a panel and reclaiming STC's is essentiallly double dipping and they consider this not in the spirit of the program.

How does this affect you and ultimately the end user?

If a customer has damaged or faulty panels, the cost of replacing them before the deadline will be significantly less due to the offset of STC's available (Assuming the inverter is still CEC approved). The value of STC's in most cases cover the cost of the panels.

What action should you take?

If you have any outstanding quotes or know of customers who have delayed replacing their panels it is important that you make them aware that this work will become far more costly if they choose to wait until a later date.
