Renewable Energy Bonus Scheme
REBS closes on 30 June 2012
The Government announced on 28 February 2012 that REBS will close on 30 June 2012.
Since the introduction of rebates for climate friendly hot water systems in 2007, the Government has funded over 250,000 rebates in excess of $320 million. REBS has played an important role in helping households reduce their emissions and cut their power bills.
In line with the announcement on 28 February 2012, to be eligible for the REBS Solar Hot Water rebate, your system must have been installed, purchased or ordered (and a deposit paid) up to 28 February 2012.
- If you have installed a system prior to 28 February 2012, your application must reach the Department within 122 days from the date of installation.
- If you purchased or ordered (and paid a deposit) for a system up to 28 February 2012, but installed it after 28 February 2012, applications must be received by the Department by 30 June 2012.
Please note that:
- Systems purchased or ordered after 28 February 2012 are not eligible under REBS.
- Applications received by the Department after 30 June 2012 will not be eligible.

Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES)
As of 1 January 2011 STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates) are replacing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for all eligible Solar or Heat Pump hot water systems.
The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) does not provide a rebate and is not a rebate-based scheme.
Each product in the Dux environmental range has been assigned a STC value, and each STC represents a saving of one megawatt of electricity generated from fossil fuels over 10 years.
Once you have had an eligible hot water system installed, you can assign the STCs to a registered agent in exchange for reimbursement or discount off the price of the system.

Systems must be installed before they can create STCs (Do not sign an STC Assignment Form until your system is installed.
You must be the owner of the system at the time it is installed.
STCs must be registered within 12 months of the installation date of the SWH.
Dux Hot Water is a registered agent so therefore STCs can be claimed directly through us, contact us for more details 1300 365 116 or fill out the application form below.
