It works by giving you tradable certificates based on how much clean energy your system is expected to generate over time\u2014essentially turning your future solar production into upfront savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here\u2019s the part many homeowners miss: the scheme has a built-in <strong>\u201cstep-down\u201d timer<\/strong>. The <em>deeming period<\/em>\u2014the number of years your solar system is assumed to produce energy\u2014drops every single year until the program ends entirely in 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, the deeming period has already fallen to <strong>6 years<\/strong>, and from 1 January 2026, it drops again to <strong>5 years<\/strong>. After that, it will continue stepping down every single year until the scheme wraps up entirely in 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does that mean for you?<br>Quite simply: <strong>fewer STCs = a smaller rebate = a higher out-of-pocket cost for your solar system.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So every year you wait, a little more of that federal discount disappears\u2014and once it\u2019s gone, it\u2019s gone for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Big Is the Impact?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Clean Energy Regulator, the drop in the deeming period isn\u2019t just a small tweak \u2014 it\u2019s actually a <strong>14.3% cut to the rebate<\/strong> when moving from 7 years (2024) to 6 years (2025). That\u2019s a big chunk of savings gone in just one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Much Victorians are Saving?
