Where to start

For the best return on investment, start with solar panels (fastest payback), then consider a heat pump hot water system (low cost, good savings). Batteries are worth considering once you've maximised solar self-consumption. Use our individual calculators to run the numbers for each upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What solar rebates are available?
The main federal rebate is through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). These are automatically applied at point of sale and reduce the cost of a solar system by $2,000-$4,000 depending on system size and location. STCs are gradually reducing each year until 2030.
Can I get a battery rebate?
Yes — the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program provides up to $3,000 for eligible battery installations. Victoria also offers a $1,400 battery rebate through Solar Victoria. Check this tool for what's available in your specific state.
Do renters get energy rebates?
Some rebates are available to renters, but most hardware rebates (solar, battery, heat pump) require owner-occupier status. Renters can often access energy efficiency rebates for LED lights and draught sealing. The ACT's Access to Electric program and Victoria's VEU scheme have some renter-accessible offerings.
How do STCs work?
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are created when you install eligible renewable energy systems. Each STC is worth about $39. The number of STCs depends on your system size, location (zone rating), and years remaining until 2030. Your installer typically handles the STC paperwork and applies the discount at point of sale.
