The two federal discounts apply everywhere. Some states add their own help on top, and some earlier programs have closed.
An upfront discount on solar, based on your system's size and your postcode's sunshine zone. It gets smaller every year until the scheme ends in 2030.
Clean Energy RegulatorAbout 30% off an eligible battery of 5 to 100 kWh, installed with new or existing solar. The battery must be able to join a virtual power plant. The discount steps down every six months.
Clean Energy RegulatorAn extra upfront payment when you connect your battery to an approved virtual power plant. The amount depends on your battery's size and the VPP provider.
NSW Climate and Energy ActionSuspended in September 2025 when the federal battery program began. It couldn't be combined with the federal discount, which now applies instead.
Scheme updatesClosed to new applications in May 2024. There's no Queensland Government rebate for solar or batteries at the moment, so Queensland homes use the two federal discounts.
A credit on your bill for the solar power you send back to the grid. Rates vary by retailer and plan, so it's worth comparing.
Low-interest loans (3%) of $2,000 to $20,000 for home batteries and other electric upgrades, repaid over up to 10 years. Loans for rooftop solar, and zero-interest loans, are for eligible concession card holders.
ACT GovernmentUp to $1,400 off solar panels, with the option of an interest-free loan of the same amount. From 1 July 2026 the combined household income limit is $150,000 a year, and the property must be valued under $3 million.

We handle the rebate paperwork
You sign the certificates over at installation and we lodge them with the Clean Energy Regulator, so the discount is already off your price.
Homeowners and small businesses installing solar for the first time can use the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) to bring down the cost.
Every eligible solar system creates Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). The number depends on how much power it will make: its size, the sunshine zone of your postcode, and the years left in the scheme (the "deeming period").
You sign the certificates over at installation and we handle the paperwork with the Clean Energy Regulator.
Each certificate is worth up to about $40, and the total is taken off your quote upfront. There's nothing to claim back later.
