FAQs
Do I need to apply for the solar rebate in NSW?
In most cases, you don’t need to apply for the federal STC rebate yourself — it’s typically arranged and applied by your solar installer as part of your system quote. However, if you’re applying for other programs, such as the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) or Virtual Power Plant (VPP) incentives in NSW, you may need to work through a participating provider and meet specific criteria. Some rebates may also require you to install an eligible battery system or connect your home to a smart meter. It's always worth checking with your installer or the official government websites for the most up-to-date program rules and eligibility.
How much can I save with solar rebates in 2025?
In 2025, eligible households can save up to 30% off the total cost of their solar system through the federal STC rebate. For a standard 6.6kW system, this could equal savings of around $2,000 to $3,000 depending on your location and installer. In addition, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, introduced on July 1, 2025, offers up to $16,000 in savings on battery installations for qualifying systems. These rebates are designed to make solar and battery storage more accessible, reduce reliance on the grid and promote clean energy use across Australia.
Can I combine solar panel and battery rebates?
Yes, in many cases, solar panel and battery rebates can be combined. For example, you can receive the STC rebate for your solar panel installation and then apply the Cheaper Home Batteries Program rebate for your battery at the same time. Additionally, if your system supports grid services, you may be eligible for NSW PDRS incentives or Virtual Power Plant (VPP) participation rebates. Combining these rebates can lead to significant upfront savings, especially when working with an accredited installer who understands how to bundle and apply each incentive correctly.
