Solar and battery rebates can be confusing — they change over time and vary depending on where you live. This page explains, in plain English, the main rebates available for Australian homes, and how Solarvia helps you claim what you're entitled to.

We handle the paperwork for you

Rebates can involve forms, eligibility checks and approvals. As a NETCC-approved retailer, Solarvia manages the paperwork for the incentives you qualify for — so the process is simple and stress-free. Eligibility criteria and program rules apply.

Federal Solar Rebate (STCs)

The federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) provides Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) for eligible rooftop solar systems. These certificates effectively reduce the upfront cost of your installation, and their value is typically applied as a point-of-sale discount by your installer.

Who it's for

Australian homeowners installing an eligible new solar PV system.
Systems installed by an accredited installer using approved equipment.
The number of certificates depends on your system size and location.

Federal Battery Rebate

Recent federal support has made home batteries significantly more affordable. Battery incentives can reduce the cost of adding eligible battery storage to a new or existing solar system — helping you store daytime solar energy for use at night, rather than buying it back from the grid.

Amounts vary

The value of battery support depends on your battery size, eligibility and current program rules, which can change. Solarvia gives you a realistic, current estimate for your situation — never an inflated figure.

NSW Home Battery Incentives

If you're in New South Wales, additional battery incentives may be available under the NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS). These programs can stack with federal support in some cases, further reducing the cost of an eligible home battery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are rebates guaranteed?

No. Rebates and incentives are subject to eligibility and government rules, which can change at any time. Solarvia checks what you currently qualify for before you commit.

Do rebates come off my price upfront?

Often, yes — for example, STCs are usually applied as a point-of-sale discount. Other incentives may work differently. We'll explain exactly how each one applies to your quote.

Can I get both solar and battery rebates?

In some cases, yes — certain programs can be combined. Eligibility applies, and we'll confirm what's possible for your situation.
