REGISTER TODAYGreenDeal Next-Day Payment Promotion Explained - FAQs
1. What is the GreenDeal Next-Day Payment Promotion?
The GreenDeal Next-Day Payment Promotion reflects our commitment to: Fast Approval. Faster Payment.
As soon as GreenDeal approves your job and lodges the STC application on the REC Registry, payment will be processed and released the following business day.
Next-Day Payment - STC application lodged on REC Registry by 3pm
2. How are payments made?
You can choose between two payment options:
- Cash Payment Payment is transferred directly to your nominated bank account.
- Credit Note Credit is applied to your OSW account.
3. Is there a weekly payment limit?
Yes. Payments under the next-day payment promotion are capped at $100,000 per customer per week (including both cash and credit payments). This applies no matter how many jobs are approved that week. We review the cap weekly and may adjust it if needed.
Jobs approved by the CER (by 3pm) are paid at the GreenDeal Standard (Battery) STC rate on the next business day and are not subject to the $100,000 weekly payment cap.
4. Are there installation and system size limitations?
The installation and system size limitations are as per the Cheaper Home Batteries Program limitations.
5. What products are eligible?
All products (solar, inverters, and batteries) listed on the Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved product list are eligible.
For batteries to be eligible, they also need to be VPP-capable.
6. What’s the difference between the OSW Inventory and Non-OSW Inventory rates?
- OSW Inventory Rate* applies when products are purchased through OSW.
- Non-OSW Inventory Rate applies when products are sourced from other suppliers.
*Current promotional rate sponsored by OSW
Only installations using OSW-dispatched stock are eligible for the OSW Inventory rate. Speak to your Customer Success Manager for OSW purchasing options.
7. Does this apply to installations before 1 July 2025?
Yes — but here’s how it works:
- Installations before 30 June 2025 are paid at the Non-OSW Inventory Rate (cash or credit).
- OSW Inventory Rate kicks in from 30 June 2025, and only applies to products purchased and dispatched through OSW.
8. What is the “Creation Fee”?
This is the fee charged by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) for each STC created. It’s currently $0.47 per STC.
9. What if the CER approves my job before GreenDeal pays out?
If the CER approves your job before GreenDeal processes your payment, you’ll receive $39.50 per STC (rate updated as of 25 August 2025).
We’ll top up any difference in rates via cash or credit, so you still get your full rate.
10. Are the rates inclusive of GST?
No. All rates shown are exclusive of GST.
11. Our STC trading terms & invalid STCs
If we have made any payment(s) to you and the associated STC application is subsequently determined to be invalid or affected by a breach (potential or actual), you are required to immediately refund the payment (in cash or credit) received by you. Our STC trading terms apply.
The Next-Day Payment option is a promotional offer made available at our discretion, and it may be modified or withdrawn without any prior notice. GreenDeal reserves the final right to interpret these trading terms.
