The government takes a big chunk off a home battery
For a normal size battery it is usually around 30% off. A much bigger battery gets a smaller share. You don't chase the money — we take it straight off your quote. Move the bar below to see your number, then read exactly how it works. Real figures, and no 'buy today' pressure.
Do you live in a unit or an apartment block?
From 1 September 2026 there is a separate NSW rebate for one shared battery for the building.
Read about it below →What the discount is
If your battery fits the rules, you get about $252–272 for each of the first 14 kWh in the battery, then less above that — around 30% offoff the price you pay up front. It comes from the federal government. You don't have to chase it — we do the paperwork and it shows up on your quote.
We last checked this on 2026-07-24. The amount gets smaller over time, so we always put the current one in your written quote.

The government discount
At least $3,270 off
on a battery that fits the rules · worked out from about 88 certificates
This is a guess at the government discount only, on a battery that fits the rules. We put the exact figure in your written quote.
The amount gets smaller over time. It drops again on 1 Jan 2027. It is a real discount, but it is not free money, and there is no need to rush. We last checked it on 2026-07-24.
Thinking of going bigger? A bigger battery is worth it if you want the whole house backed up, or you have an electric car, a pool, three-phase power, or you use a lot at night. And power in a blackout only works with the right backup gear. If none of that is you, the smaller size is usually the better buy.

Can I get it?
Three things decide it. The quickest way to be sure is to ask us. In general:
An approved battery
The battery has to be on the government's approved list. Those are the only ones we fit.
An approved installer
It has to be fitted by an accredited installer. That is us.
Your home
A few things about your place matter. We check them before you decide.
The bit other people won't tell you
Other ads shout "free solar" and "rebate ending soon". We won't. It is not free, and it only gets smaller slowly, so there is no need to rush. We show you the real number for your home and let you decide in your own time.
It is a real discount, and you get it without any games.
- We won’t door-knock you.
- We won’t subcontract your job.
- We’ll still be answering the phone in five years.
Common questions
Do I have to claim it myself?
Do bigger batteries get the full rebate?
Is the $15,000 loan with no interest real?
Is it really a discount, or is there a catch?
Will it still be there when I am ready?
What about units and apartment blocks?
From 1 September 2026 NSW opens a battery rebate to apartment buildings for the first time. It is for one shared battery for the building, not one per flat, and it can come on top of the federal rebate.
Who applies
The building does, through the owners corporation or strata committee. One resident cannot do it alone. So the first step is a chat at your strata meeting, not a quote.
Roughly what size
Between 20 and 200 kWh for the building, working out at about 5 kWh for each home. The federal rebate is paid on the first 50 kWh.
It is brand new, so the rules are still settling down. We check the current details with you before anyone signs anything. If your committee is thinking about it, talk to us now and you can move on day one rather than joining a queue.
