Us vs dodgy installers

One bad install voids your ROI, could kill your warranty and leave you with a leaking, busted roof. Here's how we screen the cowboys out before they ever quote you.

Sounds too good? It's not.

Straight answers to what Aussies actually ask before letting us anywhere near a rebate quote.

Yes. The federal STC scheme runs through to 2030 (with a step-down each January). The Cheaper Home Batteries program launched in 2025 and is funded through 2030, with the rebate amount reducing every 6 months. State programs vary, VIC Solar Homes, NSW EAPR, QLD battery booster, SA Home Battery Scheme, WA DEBS, and we screen live eligibility against your postcode in the 30-second quiz.

Waiting until 2027 costs you ~$1,000.

The federal STC scheme deems 1 fewer year of certificates each January, that's roughly $700 off a 10kW system. The Cheaper Home Batteries rebate also steps down every 6 months, costing about $340 per delay. Lock 2026 prices now or pay more later.

Indicative figures based on a 10kW system in STC zone 3 + 10kWh battery. Actual delta depends on system specs and current scheme settings.

Important information

Rebate amounts are program maximums. Federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are issued under the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 and are administered by the Clean Energy Regulator. The dollar value shown ("up to $5,350") reflects a 10kW system in STC zone 3 at recent market certificate prices and steps down on 1 January each year. Your actual rebate depends on system size, installation zone, certificate market price at the time of install, and current scheme rules.

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is a federal program launched in 2025 providing a discount on eligible household battery installations. The rebate is paid via the same STC framework and reduces every 6 months through 2030. Eligibility is subject to system, installer, and timing requirements.

State rebates vary. VIC Solar Homes, NSW Empowering Homes / EAPR, QLD Battery Booster, SA Home Battery Scheme and WA DEBS are independent state-government programs with their own eligibility rules, funding caps and end dates. Some are loans rather than direct rebates. Our quiz screens current programs by postcode but final eligibility is confirmed at quote stage.

Solar Incentives is a referral service, not a solar installer. We match eligible homeowners with the best accredited installers in our network. Final pricing, system specifications and rebate applications are handled by the installer who quotes your job. Solar Incentives receives a referral fee from installers when a job proceeds; this does not change your price.

Customer numbers. "29,000+ Aussie households helped" reflects the cumulative number of households that have run our eligibility check or received a matched quote since 2020. Indicative savings figures are illustrative only and depend on individual circumstances.
