The battery rebate, in plain words
There's a federal discount that brings the upfront cost of an eligible home battery down. Here's how it actually works — no hype, no 'ending soon' pressure.
What the discount is
Eligible systems can get about $271 per usable kWh for the first 14 kWh (then less above that) — roughly 30% offoff the upfront price, through the federal small-scale certificate scheme. You don't chase it — we sort the paperwork and the discount shows up in your quote.
Last checked: 2026-07-24. These figures step down over time, so we always confirm the current amount in your written quote.
Am I eligible?
A few things decide it. The quickest way to be sure is to ask us — but in general:
An approved battery
The battery has to be on the CEC approved product list. We only fit those.
An accredited install
It has to be installed by an accredited installer — that's us.
Your property
A few site details matter. We confirm them before you commit.
The honest bit
You'll see ads shouting "free solar" and "rebate ending soon". We won't do that. The discount is real, it's not free, and it steps down gradually — there's no need to panic-buy. We'll show you the real number for your situation and let you decide.
