Solar Battery Storage
Solar battery storage allows you to store the excess energy your solar panels produce during the day, so you can use it at night or during cloudy periods.
- Energy Collection: Your solar panels generate electricity from sunlight during the day, but you might not always need all of that energy immediately.
- Energy Storage: Instead of sending excess energy back to the grid, your system stores it in a battery for later use.
- Energy Usage: When the sun goes down or on cloudy days, the stored energy in the battery is used to power your home or business, reducing your reliance on the grid.
- Optimized Power: You can even program your system to prioritize using stored energy during peak times when electricity rates are higher, further lowering your energy costs.
NSW Government Battery Incentives
The NSW Government has introduced the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) to make solar battery storage more accessible:
Battery Rebate: Eligible homeowners can receive $1,600 to $2,400 off the upfront cost of installing a battery system. The exact amount depends on the battery size and capacity.
Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Incentive: An additional $250 to $400 is available for connecting your battery to an approved VPP, which allows you to share stored energy with the grid. This incentive can be claimed twice, with a minimum of three years between claims.
Interest-Free Loans: Eligible homeowners can access interest-free loans of up to $9,000 for adding a battery to an existing solar system or up to $14,000 for installing a new solar-battery system. These loans are available to households with an income of up to $180,000.
