Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme
The SRES is an Australian Government program based around tradable certificates called small-scale technology certificates (STCs).Eligible installations of rooftop solar are entitled to STCs, creating a subsidy for households and businesses that install these renewable energy technologies. Most home and business rooftop solar systems in Australia qualify for STCs.
