NSW rebates, explained
NSW households can combine federal rebates with NSW Government programs when they install solar panels or a home battery.
Federal rebates (Solar STC and Battery STC) are applied as an upfront discount on your system. NSW programs add interest-free finance through the Home Energy Saver, and an extra battery discount through the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS).
What you can get depends on your postcode, system size and the program rules at the time. We help you work out what you’re eligible for and guide you through the paperwork.
Here’s what needs to line up for NSW and federal rebates.
Rebates apply to eligible homes installing solar panels or a home battery in NSW.
For the Home Energy Saver interest-free loan, household taxable income must be below $210k.
Your solar or battery system must be eligible for the rebate and installed by an accredited provider.
Contact an accredited provider before you buy. Discounts usually can’t be claimed after installation.
Program rules change from time to time. We’ll confirm what applies to your home before you commit.

NSW homes can combine federal rebates (Solar STC and Battery STC) with NSW Government programs, including the Home Energy Saver interest-free loan and the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) battery discount.
It’s a federal subsidy for solar panel (PV) systems, applied as an upfront discount. The amount depends on your postcode and system size, typically between $1,500 and $4,000 for most customers.
The Battery STC is part of the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. It’s a point-of-sale discount based on your battery’s usable capacity, capped at 50 kWh. Homes can claim up to $6,800.
It offers interest-free financing up to $15k for low to medium income households, with no monthly account keeping or set-up fees. Your household taxable income must be below $210k.
The Peak Demand Reduction Scheme is designed to lower stress on the grid during peak periods (2:30 PM to 8:30 PM). Eligible customers receive an upfront discount between $650 and $1,500 based on the battery’s usable storage capacity, applied as a point of sale discount or a one-off bill credit depending on the provider. Extra conditions apply, so we’ll check whether it suits your home.
