Answer
How To Apply for a Solar Battery Rebate in NSW
What to check before you apply, and how to prepare for battery installation.
Quick answer
In NSW you don't apply for the battery rebate yourself. Your SAA-Accredited installer applies the federal discount at point of sale and enrols you in a VPP for the NSW PDRS incentive — combined savings of $8,000–$16,000.
Step 1: Check if your home is eligible
- Property location

- Battery product
