Batteries are more useful when you use more power after solar generation drops.
NSW Battery Rebate
Solar battery rebate and quote checklist for NSW
Short answer
NSW homeowners should check both federal battery discount treatment and any current NSW-specific incentive or VPP offer before comparing quotes. The safest quote comparison is the final installed price after all discounts, shown separately from battery size, backup capability and warranty.
NSW quote questions
- Does the quote include the federal battery discount, or is it shown separately?
- Is there a current NSW incentive, VPP offer or retailer plan affecting the price?
- What is the usable battery capacity and warranty period?
- Does the system include backup power, and for which circuits?
- What tariff, feed-in rate and usage pattern were used for savings estimates?
For Sydney and NSW households
Tell installers your solar system size, inverter model and recent electricity usage.
Backup can change hardware, switchboard work and installed cost.
