Going solar in Canberra: what to know

Evoenergy approvals

Canberra is on the Evoenergy network. Evoenergy sets how much solar you can export and approves the connection, and we apply to it for you before installation. Queanbeyan, across the border in NSW, is on a different network, Essential Energy.

Cold winters, high evening use

Canberra winters are cold, and homes that heat with electricity use a lot of power in the evening. Solar covers the day, and a battery can carry stored solar into the evening when power costs the most.

ACT low-interest loans

The ACT Government's Sustainable Household Scheme offers low-interest loans for home batteries and other electric upgrades, so you can spread the cost. Both federal discounts apply too.

Solar and battery rebates in the ACT

Both federal discounts come off your quote upfront, and we lodge the paperwork for you. Estimates only: your exact discount is shown on your quote.

  • FederalAvailable

    Solar panel rebate (STCs)

    An upfront discount on solar, based on your system size and postcode. It gets smaller every year until the scheme ends in 2030.

    Cheaper Home Batteries Program

    About 30% off an eligible battery installed with new or existing solar. The discount steps down every six months.

  • ACT GovernmentAvailable

We also install in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

Do you have an office in Canberra?

No. Canberra and surrounds are looked after by our NSW team, from our head office in Norwest. Your quote, design, approvals, installation and support all follow the same process as our Sydney installs.

Are there ACT rebates for solar and batteries?

The ACT Government's Sustainable Household Scheme offers low-interest loans for batteries and other electric upgrades, and loans for solar for eligible concession card holders. The federal solar rebate and the Cheaper Home Batteries Program both apply as upfront discounts.

Do you install in Queanbeyan?

Yes. We install in Canberra and surrounds, including Queanbeyan. Queanbeyan is in NSW and on the Essential Energy network, so the NSW rules apply there. Call 1300 252 090 to check your suburb.

How long does installation take?

Most home installations take a single day. Before that, we apply to Evoenergy for connection approval, which can add a few weeks before your system is fully switched on.
