What solar actually costs here.

For a typical 6.6kW solar + 10kWh battery system on a $400-$600 quarterly bill.

Feed-in tariff~2c / kWh

These are ballpark figures for that one system size and bill combo, so you can compare against a quote. Run the actual check and I'll work out your real numbers for your bill, your roof, your usage.

What you're entitled to in the ACT.

Federal STC Rebate, Panels

Applied automatically by your installer, doesn't matter what state you're in. On a standard 6.6kW system, around $1500 in 2026.

ACT Sustainable Household Scheme

You can borrow up to $15,000 at 3% interest for a battery, EV charger or hot water system. Panels aren't included in that loan, but the federal STC still applies.

Federal Battery Rebate

Around $2700 off a 10kWh battery through the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. You need existing or new solar panels to qualify, a standalone battery gets nothing.

What that adds up to

Stack it all together in the ACT and you're looking at roughly $4,270 off the upfront cost of solar plus battery. That's the number I use when I run your actual report.

I used to sell this stuff.

I worked in solar sales for a while. Watched people get talked into bigger systems than they needed, quotes that didn't add up once you did the maths, salespeople sitting in living rooms pushing a decision that day. Left because I didn't want any part of it.

So here's what's different. You run the numbers yourself first, free, no one calls you. If it stacks up, you get matched with one vetted installer, not three call centres ringing you the same afternoon. And before you sign anything, send me the quote and I'll check it myself.

Getting you a fair the ACT installer.

Building out the network in the ACT

My installer network is strongest in Victoria right now and growing state by state. Run the check anyway, you still get your full report either way, and I'll match you with someone as soon as I've got a vetted installer near you.
