NSW Solar Battery Rebate Overview

Starting November 1, 2024, NSW residents and small businesses will have an exciting new opportunity to make their energy use more efficient and affordable with the NSW Government’s new battery rebate. Part of the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS), this rebate is designed to lower electricity demand during peak periods by helping people install battery systems. By storing solar power for later use, batteries can reduce electricity costs and increase energy independence, making this rebate an excellent opportunity for those looking to cut energy costs while supporting a cleaner, more efficient power grid.

Key Features:

• Saving You More: We work with trusted partners to provide Peak Reduction Certificates (PRCs), which offer a rebate on battery costs, much like solar rebates. These PRCs help lower the out-of-pocket expense, making solar battery installation more affordable for you.
• Easy Process: When you go with an approved retailer like us, we handle everything—from paperwork to photo requirements—making it as easy as possible for you to claim your rebate. All you need to do is enjoy the benefits!

Eligibility Requirements:

• Installation Date: Batteries must be installed on or after November 1, 2024.
• Connection: The battery must be linked to a Solar PV system at the same National Metering Identifier (NMI).

Equipment Requirements:

• Capacity: Batteries must have a capacity between 2 kWh and 28 kWh and be listed on the CEC approved product list.
• Connectivity: The battery must be internet-connected and controllable by a Demand Response Aggregator.
• Warranty: A minimum 10-year warranty is required for at least 70% of usable capacity.

Rebate Amount:

The new NSW battery rebate offers a fantastic chance to make solar energy storage even more affordable, empowering both homes and small businesses to benefit from lower energy bills and more sustainable energy use.
