Solar Incentives – Energy Certificates.
Solar projects can generate energy certificates representing the megawatts generated through the array. These certificates can be traded to gain a financial benefit, or surrendered to claim the renewable energy benefit.
Small-medium business solar projects <100kW can create Small Scale Technology Certificates (STCs) which can be traded to reduce the upfront cost of purchase.
Large commercial and industrial solar systems >100kW can generate Large Scale Generation Certificates (LGCs). These can be traded for financial return, or held to offset energy towards goals of carbon neutrality. Like STCs, LGCs are available nation-wide.
For businesses in Victoria, Victorian Energy Certificates (VEECs) are issued for each tonne of avoided greenhouse gas emissions. VEECs are traded to reduce the capital cost of projects and unlike LGCs allow business to retain ownership of the carbon attributes of their solar system. Combine this with a far higher financial value to the system owner and VEECs are one of the best programs for commercial solar on the market today.
As Australia’s most trusted Authorised Certificate Provider (ACP), Ecovantage handles all certificate management internally, providing direct advice on the best arrangement for your project.
There are many kinds of tradable environmental attributes that represent a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This short video will explain them.
