FAQs
Are there any rebates or incentives available now or in the future for solar batteries in NSW?
Yes, there are several rebates and incentives available for solar batteries in New South Wales (NSW), making it an excellent time to consider adding battery storage to your solar energy system. At Eco Ease we strive to keep our customers informed about the latest opportunities to maximise their savings and benefits.
The New NSW Solar Battery Rebate
Starting on 1 November 2024, the NSW Government will launch a new incentive to make household batteries more accessible and affordable for NSW residents. This initiative, part of the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme, aims to help households and businesses with solar panels on their roofs by providing subsidies for battery storage systems. Here are the key details of this new incentive:
Up-front cost reduction: Households and businesses with existing solar panels can receive between $1,600 and $2,400 off the up-front installation cost of a household battery. This significant discount makes battery storage more affordable and accessible.
Incentives for new installations: For those looking to install both solar panels and a battery system, the incentive will be factored into the quote for the new installation. This comprehensive support helps you maximize the benefits of solar energy right from the start.
Virtual Power Plant (VPP) connection incentive: There is an additional $250 to $400 incentive for connecting a battery to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This incentive can be claimed again three years later, encouraging long-term participation in energy sharing across the grid.
Empowering Homes Program
One of the most significant incentives currently available is the NSW Government’s Empowering Homes program, which provides interest-free loans for solar and battery systems. This program aims to help households reduce their energy bills and increase their energy independence by making it easier to afford the initial investment in renewable energy.
Eligible homeowners can access interest-free loans of up to $14,000 for a solar and battery system or up to $9,000 for a battery retrofit. These loans are designed to be paid back over a period of up to 10 years, making it a very attractive option for those looking to enhance their energy storage capabilities without the burden of upfront costs.
By participating in this program, you can start enjoying the benefits of battery storage immediately while paying for the system over time.
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs)
Although primarily associated with solar panel installations, the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme also impacts battery systems when paired with solar installations. The scheme provides Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) that effectively reduce the upfront cost of your solar system. The number of STCs you receive depends on the size of your system and your location, and they can significantly lower the initial investment required for your solar and battery setup.
