Let’s talk NSW Battery Rebates
I’d like to discuss solar and be more sustainable
The NSW Battery Rebate is HERE!
What You Need to Know…
Since November 2024, NSW has been offering incentives for eligible batteries under the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS).
The Peak Demand Reduction Scheme is designed to reduce electricity consumption during periods of high demand.
What is the PDRS?
The Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) technically isn’t a rebate in the traditional sense. It’s not a direct payment to you as a customer. Instead, it’s a discount on the cost of installing a battery, and the amount you receive depends on the capacity of the battery.
As your installer, we will claim the rebate on your behalf and apply the discount to your quote.To be eligible, you must:
- Have solar installed on the premises before any battery is installed, or alongside a Solar PV system.
- Not have an existing battery installed.
- Be connected to the grid (off-grid systems are not eligible).
- Be a residential customer (businesses are not eligible)
- Use an accredited installer (That’s us!)
Why Should You Claim This?
The PDRS can make it more affordable to install a battery and help you maximize the benefits of your Solar PV system. The battery will store your solar energy, allowing you to use it during times of high demand instead of relying on grid electricity.
What is the Rebate Worth?
The rebate applies to eligible batteries with a capacity between 2 kWh and 28 kWh. If the battery exceeds 28 kWh, you will not be eligible for the rebate.
For example, a Tesla Powerwall 3 13.5 kWh battery qualifies for 1,088 PRCs at a rate of $2 per PRC, providing a base rebate of $2,176.Want to see what Batteries are eligible? ↓ ↓

Should I Go Off-Grid?
When it comes to using solar energy for your home, you have two main options: getting a grid-connected system or going off-grid. Since both setups have their own advantages, you should base your decision on certain key factors, such as the location of your home, your overall energy consumption, financial resources, and your lifestyle. This guide explores the benefits and considerations of both off-grid and grid-connected solar energy systems.
