Commercial & Industrial Offer

# Commercial Solar Incentives Are Changing — Is Your Business Ready?

Federal Government Program

## Explore the expanded SRES for eligible commercial solar systems up to 1 MW and understand what it could mean for your business.

The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) has long made solar more affordable for households and small systems — but commercial installations were capped at 100kW, well below what most warehouses, factories, and larger commercial sites actually need. From 1 October 2026, that cap rises to 1MW, opening the scheme's upfront discount to a whole tier of business that's never had access to it before.

## What SRES offers

What the SRES expansion means for your business

Eligibility Threshold

Raised from 100kW to 1MW, effective 1 October 2026

Estimated Savings

Around 20% off upfront installation costs

How It's Applied

Point-of-sale discount via tradeable STCs, handled by your installer

Scheme Timeline

Phasing down to zero by the end of 2030

Change subject to final regulations being confirmed by the Clean Energy Regulator.

What This Means for You

## Systems up to 1MW just became a much easier decision.

If your site has ever been quoted for solar close to or above the old 100kW cap, this changes the numbers significantly. We handle the entire STC process as part of your installation — no separate paperwork, no chasing certificates — so the discount is simply reflected in your final price.
