What need to know about Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs)
What if I want to create the certificates myself?
-
This is perfectly possible but you will need to do all the work ordinarily
undertaken by an Agent. You will pay full price for your system, and
manage the installation of it yourself to ensure that it is eligible to claim
STCs. You will also need to create the certificates yourself on the REC
Registry and have them validated by ORER. You can then either:
• Find a company that will purchase small numbers of STCs and
arrange a contract for their sale, or;
• Use the ORER-managed STC Clearing House to sell your certificates
for a fixed price of $40 (excl.GST) per STC.
STCs are placed in a queue for sale, where they wait until a buyer is
available. The sale can be immediate, or take many months – there
are no guarantees on how long your STCs will take to sell.
When the STCs are transferred to the seller you will receive the money
from their purchase.
As this process can be complex, many householders prefer to use an Agent.
