Big news for Aussie businesses:

the Federal Government is expanding the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) cap from 100 kW to 1 MW starting 1 October 2026. This historic change means medium-to-large commercial solar systems will finally qualify for upfront Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), slashing the installation costs of commercial, industrial, and agricultural solar setups by around 20 per cent.
At Coast Wide Energy we handle all the calculations and apply these savings directly to your quote so you can see the immediate impact on your bottom line.
Here is what your business needs to know about the upcoming changes.
# # The Big Shifts in Commercial Solar Incentives

* Massive Cap Expansion: The STC eligibility threshold jumps from 100 kW to 1 MW.
* Upfront Discounts: Systems over 100 kW no longer have to rely solely on long-term Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs); they can now claim an immediate discount.
* Substantial Dollar Savings: Estimates show a $68,000 discount off a 250 kW system and $136,000 off a 500 kW system.
* Faster Connection Approvals: The government is pushing network providers to fast-track grid connections for commercial solar applications.

# # Why "Right-Sizing" Your System Matters Now
While the expanded panel cap is a win, the rules around commercial battery storage under the same scheme changed on 1 May 2026. Battery STC rebates now use a tiered structure that reduces incentives for oversized storage units:

* 0–14 kWh: Full 100% rebate factor applied.
* 14–28 kWh: Rebate factor drops to 60%.
* 28–50 kWh: Rebate factor drops to 15%.
* Above 50 kWh: No STC rebate applies to the remaining capacity.

Because battery rebate factors will continue to step down every six months until 2030, matching your exact operational load to your storage capacity is critical to maximizing your ROI.
# # Secure Your Quote Early
Avoid the end-of-year rush and grid connection bottlenecks. If you want to see how these new regulations will lower your operating costs, let us know:

* Your average monthly electricity bill or peak usage hours
* Your available roof space size or business type (e.g., warehouse, farm, office)
* Whether you require battery storage to shift your evening energy loads

We can provide a tailored comparison of your upfront savings and long-term energy paybacks.

Coast Wide Energy standard👇 Site Plan + MSDS.

If you have a home battery, this should have been installed by your *original installer* on day 1. It’s required by Australian Standards.

Why it matters: So emergency services can safely isolate your system if there’s a fire or fault.

If your installer didn’t give you this, give them a call first. It’s their job to provide it.

Not sure who installed it? Or can’t get in touch with them?
DM us and we’ll let you know what you need to be compliant and safe.

Stay safe out there ⚡

☀️ Hey Central Coast homeowners — don't scrap your solar just yet!
If your solar system is acting up, making weird noises, or your bills are creeping back up… it might not be your panels causing the problem. It could be your inverter — the brain of your whole system!
Here's the good news 👇
Replacing JUST your inverter is way cheaper than starting from scratch, and it can make your system work like it's brand new again! New inverters are also built to meet the latest Australian grid compliance standards, which older models often don't — meaning your system could actually be non-compliant right now without you even knowing. 😬
A modern inverter upgrade means:
⚡ Better performance & more savings on your power bill

✅ Fully grid-compliant — no nasty surprises from your network provider

🔋 Ready to connect with battery storage when you're ready

💰 Protect the investment you've already made in your panels
Your panels could have 10 years of life left in them — don't throw that away!
🔍 Book an inverter inspection with the Coast Wide Energy team today and find out exactly what your system needs.
We're local, we know the Central Coast, and we'll give you an honest answer — no sales pressure, just straight-up advice from your neighbours.
