How can a school create and assign STCs?
The following NSSP eligible items may create STCs: • solar power systems • small wind turbines • small hydro power systems • solar hot water systems • heat pump hot water systems. Schools have two options for gaining a financial benefit from STCs: • Assign the STCs to a registered agent (usually a retailer or installer) in exchange for an upfront discount on the purchase price of the item. • Sell the certificates through the open STC market (price subject to market forces) or through the STC Clearing House (price fixed at $40 per STC excluding GST). Schools are encouraged to assign their STCs to a registered agent in exchange for an upfront discount on the purchase price of the installed system.
