The local picture
Installing in New South Wales
New South Wales has the largest installer base in the country, from Sydney and the Central Coast to Newcastle, Wollongong and Albury. High volume means tight margins, and a trader that pays slowly or takes fees comes straight out of your profit.
Three networks cover most jobs: Ausgrid across Sydney and the Hunter, Endeavour Energy in western Sydney and the south-west, and Essential Energy across regional areas. Each has its own application portal and export rules, so check the approval matches the address before you lodge.
We settle jobs in Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Central Coast and Albury and everywhere in between. For the general process, see STC trading or how it works.
Solar zones
What zone are you in?
Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are Zone 3. Western and far north-west NSW can move into higher-rated zones, so a regional job can create more STCs per kW than a coastal one at the same system size.
State incentives
Also on your radar
NSW also runs the Energy Savings Scheme, which creates ESCs for eligible efficiency work, and the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme, which rewards certain appliance and equipment upgrades. They are separate from STCs and have their own accreditation. Ask the desk if you want to know where they might overlap with your work.
