First and foremost we wish you and your family good health in the uncertain times ahead. We are hoping the peak of any disruption is minimal and we can come out the other side positioned well for a period of rebound.
As we look to find some positives in the commotion we have found some gems that may be of interest to those considering solar for their business or investment property.
Firstly the current economic environment is likely to cause some tenancy risk for those with investment property – it might be an ideal time for landlords to be looking at ways of securing tenants while helping them reduce their business expenses. Solar is a perfect starting point, with a variety of models available to share in the savings if that is a preferred option.
Secondly for those owner/occupiers who have been considering solar recently, there are some gems below to add to an already attractive return on investment available through solar.

Instant Asset Write-off Increased for Businesses
For new or second-hand assets first used or installed ready for use from 12 March until 30 June 2020, the instant asset write-off threshold will be increased from $30,000 to $150,000 for businesses with aggregated annual turnover of less than $500 million (up from the current $50 million threshold). The threshold applies on a per asset basis, so eligible businesses can immediately write-off multiple assets. Click the link below to read more

Increasing STC Incentive Spot Prices
The Government incentive payment for solar power is called the STC rebate. The STC spot price traded below $35/STC towards the end of 2018 and has been on a steady increase to where we are today almost reaching $39! This has been in increase of over 11%, and for a 100 kilowatt system this means a further $6,100 in STC incentives off the installed price.
In short, it has never been a better STC environment to be considering solar.
