The purchase and installation of a solar water heater (SWH) or air-sourced heat pump water heater may entitle you to Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) if your system is eligible under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES).
STCs are sold and transferred to liable entities (usually electricity retailers) through a market based online system called the REC Registry, or via the ORER-managed STC Clearing House.
As of 1 January 2011 STCs are replacing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for all eligible SWHs. All validated RECs existing at 1 January 2011, or certificates created for installations completed prior to 1 January 2011, will become Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs), which must be traded on the LGC market. They cannot be traded through the STC Clearing House.
