Explore support for home energy upgrades, business batteries and apartment buildings. Find the relevant program, then check eligibility before committing to an installation.
Choose the program that fits your household, business or building.
A no-interest loan for eligible energy upgrades, repaid over up to 10 years.
Planned support for eligible lower-income households and concession card holders.
Eligible households can receive an upfront payment for connecting a compatible battery to a VPP.
Indicative upfront battery discounts: about 20–30% for a battery alone, or 30–40% with qualifying new solar.
Indicative discounts for eligible shared battery installations: about 20–30% alone, or 30–40% with qualifying new solar.
Co-funding for eligible apartment solar projects. The 80% Boost rate is restricted to eligible locations; it is not the standard NSW rate.
Federal support
State assistance is only one part of the picture. Eligible solar and battery installations may also qualify for federal support. We can identify the relevant programs in your proposal.
Small-scale Technology Certificates can reduce the upfront cost of eligible solar. The amount depends on the installation and certificate value.
Federal support for eligible batteries connected to solar. Battery size, usable capacity, equipment and installation requirements affect eligibility and the discount.
Incentives are subject to scheme rules and availability. A quote should distinguish upfront discounts, repayable finance and estimated future electricity savings.
Send your address, an electricity bill and details of any existing solar or battery.
We review the system options and relevant incentive requirements for your project.
Review the equipment, installation costs and eligible incentives before deciding.
Some programs can be combined when each scheme allows it. Solar STCs and an eligible NSW battery incentive may support different parts of one project. Do not assume two installation incentives can be claimed for the same battery; ask for the eligible amounts to be itemised.
As checked on 23 October 2026, the official NSW discount page still says applications are coming soon. The loan program has opened separately. Check the official program page for the latest status.
