Rebate Guides

Government incentives can reduce the upfront cost of solar panels and home batteries. This guide gives a plain overview of the main schemes and points you to our detailed pages on each one.

The main schemes in plain terms

  • Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs): a federal incentive under the Renewable Energy Target, administered by the Clean Energy Regulator. It discounts the cost of an eligible solar panel system. Read our STC Rebate guide.
  • Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program: a federal incentive that discounts the cost of installing an eligible home battery, delivered through the STC scheme. See our Federal Battery Rebate page.
  • NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS): a NSW Government incentive for eligible home batteries. Details are on our NSW Battery Rebate page.

How the incentives work together

These schemes apply to different parts of a system, and in NSW they can be combined on the one project. In most cases the discount is applied at the point of sale by an accredited installer, so it appears as a reduction on your invoice rather than a separate claim. Our Stack Rebates guide explains how they fit together.

Check your eligibility before you sign

Incentive values and eligibility rules change over time, and some schemes reduce on a set schedule. We recommend checking the current position with the official government sources and confirming the figures in your written quote before you commit. Equipment and installer requirements apply, and you can review our accreditations on our Certifications & Registrations page.

You may also find our Rebates and Incentives overview and Feed-in Tariff Comparison useful. When you're ready, request a quote and we'll show which incentives may apply to your project.
