What actually affects your ROI in New South Wales.

Most people know there's "some kind of rebate." Few know exactly what they're entitled to.

💰

Federal STC Rebate — Solar Panels

Applied automatically by your installer at the point of sale. On a standard 6.6kW system, typically saves ~$1500 in 2026. Reduces every year until 2030 — so earlier is better.

🏠

NSW Home Energy Action Loan

No upfront panel rebate in NSW — but an interest-free loan up to $15,000 is available for solar + battery systems through the NSW Home Energy Action program.

🔋

Federal Battery Rebate — May 2026

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program gives roughly ~$2700 off a 10kWh battery. You must have solar panels (existing or new) to qualify — a standalone battery with no solar gets no rebate.

📋

Combined Savings — Solar + Battery

Stack the rebates together in New South Wales: federal STC (~$1500) + federal battery rebate (~$2700) = over $4200 off a typical solar + battery system upfront.

I worked in solar. I didn't like what I saw.

I spent time working across a few solar companies. The product itself is great — but the way a lot of these businesses operate isn't. I watched homeowners get pushed into systems where the ROI simply didn't stack up. High-pressure tactics. Inflated margins. The people being sold to weren't stupid — they just didn't have access to honest, independent information before they sat down with a salesperson.

So I built Aussie Solar Info to give everyday New South Wales homeowners what they should have had from the start — a straight answer on whether solar makes financial sense for their home, before they talk to anyone.
