What renewable energy generators are eligible to participate in the Solar Bonus Scheme?
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels or wind turbines (up to 10 kilowatts in capacity) that connect to the electricity network through an inverter (up to 10 kilowatts in capacity) will be eligible for the Solar Bonus Scheme. Solar PV systems installed and connected after 1 January 2010 must be installed by a person, who at the time of the installation had a Grid-connect Design & Install accreditation from the Clean Energy Council to be eligible for the Solar Bonus Scheme. The Renewable Energy (RE) Industry Accreditation, an initiative of the Clean Energy Council, ensures that industry participants (such as PV installers) have a minimum level of competence in the design and installation of RE systems.
