The New South Wales (NSW) Government has launched the Solar Battery Rebate to make energy storage more accessible for homeowners and businesses. This initiative aims to reduce upfront costs, enabling more residents to store excess solar energy and decrease reliance on grid electricity.
Understanding the NSW Solar Battery Rebate
The rebate offers financial incentives to offset the installation costs of battery storage systems:
Upfront Installation Rebate
Depending on the battery size, you can receive between $1,600 and $2,400 to reduce initial installation expenses.
Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Connection Incentive
By connecting your battery to a VPP, you can earn an additional $250 to $400. This incentive is claimable twice, with a minimum interval of three years.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the solar battery rebate:
- Your property must have an existing solar system or plan to install one concurrently with the battery.
- The battery capacity should be between 2 kWh and 28 kWh.
- The battery must be on the Clean Energy Council’s approved products list.
- Installation must be performed by an Accredited Certificate Provider (ACP).
- A minimum warranty of 10 years, guaranteeing at least 70% usable capacity, is required.
- The battery must be registered on the Distributed Energy Resources (DER) register.
- A smoke alarm must be installed near the battery.
