Solar & battery rebates, explained plainly
The incentives are real but they’re shrinking — here’s what’s live in 2026, in plain English, with no vague promises.
Federal · Solar
The solar rebate is built into your price
The federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme gives you an upfront discount through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), based on your system size and location. You don’t claim it back — it’s already in the price we quote. The catch: it steps down every year and ends in 2030, so the same system is subsidised less the longer you wait.
Federal · Battery
The battery rebate changed the game
From mid-2025 the federal Cheaper Home Batteries program cut roughly a third off the installed cost of home storage. Paired with today’s low feed-in tariffs, that’s what’s finally made keeping your own power after dark worth it.
