Am I still eligible for government solar rebates if I install a completely off-grid system?

Yes, off-grid systems still qualify for several government incentives in Australia. Federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply equally to off-grid solar and battery installations, giving rural and off-grid households the same upfront discounts as grid-connected homes. Depending on your location, you may also be eligible for state-specific support, such as the Cheaper Home Batteries Program or zero-interest loans and battery rebates offered in regions like Victoria and New South Wales
