Don't let upfront cost stop you from going solar. Makn Energy offers flexible finance options that let you start saving on day one - No Cost Solar!!
Solar That Pays For Itself

Government Rebates Reduce Your Cost
Before you even think about finance, government incentives can significantly reduce the upfront cost of your solar system — making repayments even more manageable.
Federal STC Rebate
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) reduce the upfront cost of your solar system by $2,000–$4,000 depending on system size. We apply this discount directly to your quote — no paperwork required.
SA Home Battery Scheme
Eligible SA households can access subsidised battery storage through the Home Battery Scheme, reducing battery costs by up to $4,000. Combine with solar finance for maximum savings.
SA Feed-In Tariff
Export excess solar energy to the grid and earn a feed-in tariff credit on your electricity bill. This further reduces your net electricity costs and improves your system's payback period.
Business Tax Incentives
Businesses can claim solar system costs as a tax deduction and may be eligible for accelerated depreciation under the instant asset write-off scheme. Ask us about commercial finance options.
