STCs
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) provide a financial incentive to encourage the
installation of Solar and Heat Pump water heaters provided under a Federal Government
legislated scheme.
This map shows the climate Zones within Australia which will define the number of STCs
allocated to an approved Heat Pump water heater. Your installation may be eligible for
additional incentives in some states. See website for details.

RHEEM AMBIPOWER®ULTRA LOW GWP HEAT PUMP
The AmbiPower®
280e Heat Pump is an ideal replacement for
a similar sized electric water heater. It is an energy efficient
alternative for areas where a traditional solar water heater may not
be suitable. It uses the heat from the surrounding air to heat water
and provides a reliable, efficient and sustainable way to reduce
your water heating energy consumption.
A Heat Pump can work day and night as it extracts heat from the
surrounding air and doesn’t rely on direct sunlight to operate.
