Solar Credits Scheme Still Available!
NEW key features of the Solar Bonus Scheme
- The Solar Bonus Scheme, which commenced on 1 January 2010, will continue to operate until 31 December 2016.
- Existing customers will continue to receive the 60 cent credit (ongoing eligibility will depend on certain circumstances not changing).
- Existing customers are those whose system was connected by 27 October 2010.
- Customers that have purchased or leased systems (or entered into a legally binding agreement to do so) by 27 October 2010 have until 18 November 2010 to apply to connect to the grid to be eligible for the previous 60 cent gross tariff.
- Customers who purchase systems after 27 October 2010 will be assessed under the new scheme.
- Some retailers may also offer additional payments on top of the Solar Bonus Scheme tariff of 20 cents per kilowatt hour.
- An overall Scheme capacity limit of 300 MW applies. Customers who connect to the grid after the cap has been reached will not be eligible for tariff payments under the Scheme.
- The Scheme will be reviewed by the Minister in 2012 and again after 2016.
- While the Scheme sets a 'gross' feed-in tariff rate, customers who choose to participate with 'net' metering arrangements can receive the tariff on a 'net' basis.
- Only small electricity customers (those with an annual electricity consumption of up to 160 megawatt hours) are eligible to participate in the Scheme.
- Only customers with solar photovoltaic (PV) panels or wind turbines (up to 10 kilowatts in capacity) that connect to the electricity network through an inverter (up to 10 kilowatts in capacity) are eligible to participate in the Scheme.
- Solar PV systems installed and connected after 1 January 2010 must be installed by a person, who at the time of the installation had a Grid-connect Design & Install accreditation from the Clean Energy Council, to be eligible for the Solar Bonus Scheme.
- Each eligible small electricity customer (a person or legal entity) is entitled to receive the Solar Bonus Scheme credit for one eligible renewable energy generator (solar photovoltaic system or wind turbine) only.
