STC stands for Small-scale Technology Certificate. It’s part of the Australian Government’s Renewable Energy Target program, created to reward Australians who install eligible energy-efficient systems, such as heat pump or solar hot water systems. When a system like this is installed, it’s awarded a certain number of certificates based on its efficiency, the location of installation, and the amount of renewable energy it’s expected to produce or offset over time. Each certificate holds a monetary value, which acts as an upfront rebate.
How Do STC Rebates Work?
Rather than applying for the rebate after installation, JR Gas & Water includes the value of the STCs directly in the price shown on each product page. This means what you see is the final out-of-pocket cost to you — no separate rebate forms, no waiting, no surprises.

Who Is Eligible?
You’re generally eligible for STCs if you’re installing a new, approved system at a residential or small business property within Australia. The installation must be completed by a qualified installer, and the system must meet current Australian standards. All heat pumps and solar hot water systems sold and installed by JR Gas & Water are STC-approved, and our team ensures each installation qualifies properly.
