It can knock thousands of dollars off the price of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\">home solar installation<\/a>, and up to tens of thousands of dollars off a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/commercial-solar-guide.html\">commercial solar system<\/a> less than 100kW capacity.<\/p>\n<p>They say all good things come to an end, and that&#8217;s also true for this subsidy &#8211; but not entirely for quite a few years yet. The rebate has reduced each year since 2017 as part of a planned phase-out, and will drop to zero in January 2031.<\/p>\n<h2>How Much Will The Solar Rebate Reduce By In 2022?<\/h2>\n<p>The amount of rebate accompanying an eligible system varies based on a number of factors &#8211; including year of installation, solar panel capacity and where in Australia it is installed. It&#8217;s also based on STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates), the value of which fluctuates according to market demand.<\/p>\n<p>But as an example and a very general guide, the subsidy will be around $320 less than currently on a 6.6kW system in January 2022. This assumes current STC values hold, and they have been stable in recent months. It&#8217;s a small amount to miss out on compared to the savings a good quality system will provide during its many years of service. Try SQ&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar-calculator\/\">solar calculator<\/a> to see an estimate of your potential savings.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/rebate\/\">how the solar panel rebate works here<\/a> in great detail; but from the customer side of things it&#8217;s quite simple &#8211; an up-front discount rather than something you receive after the system is paid for and installed.<\/p>\n<h2>Should I Buy A Solar Power System Right Now?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s always a good time to get solar installed considering every month without panels your household electricity bills (or those of your business) will be much higher than they might otherwise be &#8211; so doing some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/101-guides\/\">research on installing solar<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/quote\/\">getting quotes now<\/a> is a great idea in preparation for an early 2022 installation.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, the level of solar rebate accompanying eligible systems is partly based on installation date, not purchase date. There&#8217;s some lead-up time after you sign on the dotted line for a system before installation and many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/installers\/choosing\/\">good solar installers<\/a> would be booked out to the end of the year. And it&#8217;s not worth risking a bad installation company with time on its hands as that could cost more in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Quotes for quality systems and installation issued now will likely take into account a 2022 installation date. But by locking in a good installer, you could be saving on your electricity bills with solar energy earlier in 2022 than if you wait until early next year before making a decision. There&#8217;s often a backlog of work after installers get back from their well-deserved and hard-earned holiday breaks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being the final month of the year, it&#8217;s a good time to look at what will happen with Australia&#8217;s hugely popular solar rebate when the calendar flips over to January 1, 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":56571,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Australia&#039;s Solar Rebate In 2022: What&#039;s Ahead - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"It&#039;s a good time to look at what will happen with Australia&#039;s hugely popular solar rebate when the calendar flips over to January 1, 2022.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-rebate-2022-mb2258\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Australia&#039;s Solar Rebate In 2022: What&#039;s Ahead\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"It&#039;s a good time to look at what will happen with Australia&#039;s hugely popular solar rebate when the calendar flips over to January 1, 2022.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-rebate-2022-mb2258\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-12-01T19:13:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/australia-solar-rebate-2022.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-rebate-2022-mb2258\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-rebate-2022-mb2258\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Australia&#8217;s Solar Rebate In 2022: What&#8217;s Ahead\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-12-01T19:13:25+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-rebate-2022-mb2258\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":545,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-rebate-2022-mb2258\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/12\\\/australia-solar-rebate-2022.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
