This is based on an interest rate of 8% calculated monthly and without taking into account any possible extra charges like establishment fees or admin fees. Of course you need to check these numbers with a professional financial advisor.

Even still this means you may be able to install solar for zero deposit AND it is still cash flow positive. What we mean by “cash flow positive”, is that the amount saved by the solar system installation over one year is greater than the cost of financing that same solar system.

 

Government Solar Rebate in Marmong Point

So if you install a 10kW solar system in Marmong Point, you are categorised in Zone 3 and likely to be eligible for a $4,588 rebate.

The advertised price and the amount you pay or finance is generally after the STC rebate has been removed from the gross price of the solar system.

Naturally conditions apply to obtaining an STC rebate so it is best to talk to a solar professional.
