renewable energy government incentives
Discover the range of government incentives to help you save!
To help you transition to an energy-efficient system, Mondiaux Solar has created a list of government incentives to help you achieve your solar goals. Learn about the government schemes and how to access the incentives below.
Sustainable Household Scheme (ACT)
When you choose to go solar and apply for the sustainable household scheme, the government has an essential requirement regarding solar products and services suppliers. The supplier should be the one that the government of Australia accredits. Fortunately, Mondiaux is an approved supplier of the ACT government.

About The Program
This scheme provides zero-interest loans to help with the costs of energy-efficient upgrades. If you're eligible, you can get a loan from $2,000 to $15,000. You can repay the loan over up to 10 years.
If you're eligible, you can use the loan to purchase
- rooftop solar panels
- household battery storage systems
- electric heating and cooling systems
- hot water heat pumps (HWHP)
- electric stove tops
- electric vehicles
- electric vehicle charging infrastructure
- ceiling insulation
- installation costs for these products.
Over the life of the scheme, you can install one product or a bundle of products from the list of eligible products. Together, these can be valued at up to $15,000. You may borrow more than $15,000 depending on your loan application credit check. The loan provider may charge interest on funds borrowed above the limit.
Your repayments will begin when you either:
- install the product or system and it is operational
- buy the electric vehicle.

You can repay the loan early with no penalty fee. But if you fall behind in your loan repayments, the loan provider may charge a fee.
You must meet standard credit criteria for the loan. This includes a good credit history and the ability to repay the loan without hardship.
If you can't repay the loan, the loan provider will have hardship support to help you.
The loan provider must follow the responsible lending practices in the National Consumer Protection Credit Act 2009.
To assist with reducing the loan size, Pensioner Concession Card, Department of Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card holders and Health Care Card may also be eligible for rebates on rooftop solar installation and other energy efficient products as part of the Home Energy Support program. Eligible households who are approved for one or more Home Energy Support rebates can also receive up to $10,000 in a zero interest loan.
This means that the total support available from the ACT Government is $15,000 per eligible household, either through $15,000 in zero interest loans only or through $10,000 in zero interest loans and $5,000 in rebates.

Small Scale Technology Certificates (STCs)
Every country wants to invest in solar energy in the future. It has the potential to make countries more self-sufficient and autonomous. These days, the majority of the countries’ governments encourage their citizens to adopt solar. Incentives from the government are a part of this engagement. The Australian government also offers a small-scale technology certificate (STC) as one such incentive. All business and residential property owners with systems up to 100kW are eligible for STCs.
