Your solar, their profit
Without solar + battery, you sell daytime solar at ~6c per kWh and buy it back at night for ~30c. A stacked system kills the markup and keeps your power on your roof.
Skeptical? Good. Here are the answers.
Straight answers to what Aussies actually ask before letting us anywhere near a rebate quote.
It depends on system size, location and current programs. The combined federal stack (STC + Cheaper Home Batteries) on a 10kW system + 13.5kWh battery in zone 3 can reach around $8,000. State rebates can stack on top in eligible postcodes; not all states currently have an active solar-panel top-up. The quiz returns your specific number based on your actual situation.
Yes. The federal STC scheme runs through to 2030 (with a step-down each January). The Cheaper Home Batteries program launched in 2025 and is funded through 2030, with the rebate amount reducing every 6 months. State programs vary, VIC Solar Homes, NSW EAPR, QLD battery booster, WA DEBS, and we screen live eligibility against your postcode in the 30-second quiz.
Federal STCs deem 1 fewer year of certificates each January, which cuts ~$700 off a typical 10kW install. The battery rebate steps down ~$340 every 6 months. Locking in 2026 vs 2027 is worth ~$1,000 combined. No catch, that's just how the schemes are structured to wind down over time.
No. We send your quote request to one vetted installer matched to your postcode and system needs, not a phone book of cold-callers. If you don't proceed, that installer doesn't keep chasing you, and no one else gets your details.
An Australian-based specialist calls within a few business hours with your eligibility breakdown and rebate-stacked quote. The call takes about 10 minutes. You decide on your timing, no pressure, no sales theatre.
Not for the eligibility quiz, postcode and rough system size is enough to confirm your rebate stack. For the final quote, your bill helps us size the system to your usage so you maximise self-consumption (and therefore savings).
If you've already had a quote, it's worth checking whether all three rebate streams were applied: federal STC, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, and any state top-up where available. Our quiz screens the full stack against your postcode so you can compare like-for-like.
Battery-only retrofits qualify for the Cheaper Home Batteries program. We screen eligibility, match you with an installer who handles retrofits, and confirm compatibility with your existing inverter before quoting.
Installers in our network are expected to hold valid Clean Energy Council accreditation, the industry standard for residential solar in Australia, and maintain appropriate insurance. Specific installer credentials, warranty terms and insurance details are confirmed at quote stage so you can verify before signing.
The installer pays us, not you. They already spend on Google ads and door-knocking to find customers, so they pay us instead when we send one their way. Your quote stays the same. We don't take a cut of your rebate. Worst case, you spent 30 seconds. No cost, no commitment, no chase-up.

Important information & disclosures
Dollar figures on this page are indicative maximums under "up to" framing. Actual amounts depend on system size, install zone, certificate market price at the time of install, battery capacity, and current scheme rules. Tap any item below for the full substantiation.
"Up to $8,000" stacked rebate
Indicative maximum saving on the upfront price of a stacked solar & battery install, combining the federal Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) scheme (around $3,500 on a 6.6kW system in STC zone 3 at recent certificate prices) and the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program (around $5,500 on a mid-size eligible battery in 2026). State top-ups may apply where available but are not included in the $8,000 figure. Federal STCs step down on 1 January each year; the Cheaper Home Batteries discount steps down every 6 months through 2030.
"$0 upfront" / "$0-deposit" finance
The "$0 upfront", "$0 deposit", "Nothing out of pocket" and similar phrases on this page refer to financing arrangements offered by accredited third-party lenders to eligible homeowners. Solar systems supplied under these arrangements are not free. The total cost of the system is repaid by the customer over the term of a finance agreement with the lender, and the customer remains liable for all repayments regardless of any energy savings achieved. The phrase "paid off from the savings" refers to the typical outcome whereby the monthly finance repayment is approximately offset by the savings generated through reduced electricity consumption and applicable feed-in tariff credits. This is indicative only and actual results vary depending on household consumption, tariff structure, system performance, weather and other factors. Finance is subject to credit approval. Customers should read all finance terms carefully before signing.
Payback period ("3 to 4 years")
Indicative range for a typical residential install in metropolitan Australia using current STC and feed-in tariff settings. Your actual payback depends on system size, household consumption, retail tariff, feed-in rate, roof orientation and weather.
Lifetime bill savings ("$30,000")
Modelled over a 25-year system life for a typical Australian home using current retail tariff data. Real outcomes vary with consumption, system performance, future tariff changes, feed-in rate changes and weather. Illustrative; not a guaranteed return.
Federal STC rebate
Small-scale Technology Certificates are issued under the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 and administered by the Clean Energy Regulator. The value of the rebate steps down on 1 January each year as the deeming period reduces. Your final rebate depends on the certificate market price at the date your system is installed.
Cheaper Home Batteries Program
A federal program providing a discount on eligible household battery installations, paid via the STC framework. The discount reduces every 6 months through 2030. Eligibility is subject to battery, installer, and timing requirements.
State rebates vary
VIC Solar Homes, NSW Empowering Homes / EAPR, QLD Battery Booster and WA DEBS are independent state-government programs with their own eligibility rules, funding caps and end dates. Some are loans rather than direct rebates. Not all states currently have an active solar-panel top-up. Our quiz screens current programs by postcode but final eligibility is confirmed at quote stage.
Solar Incentives is a referral service
We are not a solar installer. We match eligible homeowners with accredited installers in our network. Final pricing, system specifications, finance terms and rebate applications are handled by the installer who quotes your job. Solar Incentives may receive a referral fee from installers when a job proceeds; this does not change your price.
