It should be noted, I don't think anyone has actually received any money back yet, but it should be coming. Solar Offset is the same company I went with as well.
Note their calculator assumes total project life time of 10 years (at which time you could re-enroll) and assumes carbon markets respond to scheduled Carbon Price increases.
a 10kW system could produce 7 credits @ 55% of carbon price so this year a 10kW system could generate around $250.
To get to the $4151-$5336 number quoted in the calculator a lot of things have to happen, including the price of carbon increasing on schedule which may not happen if the Liberals are ever removed from power.
I chose to exclude the carbon credits from my payback calcs until the money is in the bank, I don't think it can be relied upon until proven
