You’ve still got three paths, depending on your situation.

The federal STC rebate applies to everyone and delivers a meaningful upfront discount. If you hold a qualifying concession card, the Home Energy Support Program offers both a $2,500 rebate and a zero-interest loan for solar. For everyone else, solar is financed through your installer’s payment options or standard finance.

Either way the federal rebate still reduces the sticker price significantly before any financing comes into it.
