Can a landlord claim the federal solar tax credit on a rental property?

There’s no federal solar tax credit in Australia. That’s a US mechanism.

What Australian landlords can access instead is the upfront rebate through STCs, which is the same mechanism behind the federal battery rebate. On top of that there’s depreciation on the system as a rental property asset, which is worth raising with your accountant.
