A plain-English breakdown of the federal and NSW state incentives available for solar and battery installations, and how they reduce your upfront cost.
The Federal STC Rebate
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are the main federal incentive, applied as an upfront discount on your solar system rather than a rebate you claim later. The value depends on system size and your location's solar zone rating.
NSW-Specific Battery Incentives
NSW periodically runs battery incentive schemes that reduce the upfront cost of eligible battery installations. Eligibility and rebate amounts change, so we check current entitlements as part of every proposal.
How the Discount Is Applied
Reputable installers apply these incentives directly as a point-of-sale discount, so the price you're quoted already reflects the rebate — you don't need to apply separately or wait for reimbursement.
Avoiding Rebate Scams
Be wary of any offer claiming a solar system is "fully free" via government rebates — this isn't how the scheme works and is a common red flag for low-quality, high-pressure sales operations.
