Estimate only. Rebate amounts depend on your battery, installation date, location and current program rules, and certificate prices change with the market. Your final rebate will be confirmed in your written quote.

Federal: Cheaper Home Batteries Program

Available Australia-wide for eligible batteries from 5 to 100 kWh. The discount is based on your battery's usable capacity and the date it's installed. It steps down every six months until 2030, and larger batteries receive a smaller amount per kWh above 14 kWh. Learn more at DCCEEW

NSW: Virtual Power Plant incentive

NSW households can receive an additional incentive under the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme when they connect their battery to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) through an accredited provider. It is calculated on the first 28 kWh of usable capacity. Learn more at NSW Energy Sustainability Schemes

WA: Residential Battery Scheme

Synergy customers may receive up to $130 per kWh (maximum $1,300) and Horizon Power customers up to $380 per kWh (maximum $3,800), capped at 10 kWh. Joining an approved VPP is required. Learn more at WA.gov.au

Get Your Estimate in Four Steps

  1. Enter your battery's capacity. Add its nominal and usable capacity from the spec sheet or the Clean Energy Council approved list.
  2. Enter your postcode. This tells the calculator which state incentives may apply. NSW and WA customers will be asked one extra question about their electricity network or retailer.
  3. Set your installation date. Federal rebate rates drop on 1 January and 1 July each year, so the date affects your estimate.
  4. Choose your activity type. Select Residential for a home, Apartment for a NSW apartment building, or Commercial for a business. Apartment and Commercial will also ask whether new solar panels are being installed within 90 days, which earns a higher NSW rate.

Your estimate updates as you type. When you're ready, request a quote and our team will confirm your exact rebate.
