FAQs: Solar Rebates and Incentives Explained

Do I Qualify for a Solar Rebate?

Yes, every new solar system installed qualifies for a rebate under the federal incentive program. This means that regardless of whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, you can benefit from a reduction in the overall cost of your solar installation.

‍

How Much Will I Get?

The amount of the rebate you will receive depends on the size of the solar system installed. Rebates are applicable to all systems up to 100 kilowatts of solar generation. This means the larger the system, the greater the rebate you can expect.

‍

Are There Rebates for Batteries?

Currently, in South Australia, there are no federal or state incentives specifically for batteries. However, rebates for batteries are available as part of the Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS). The rebates vary depending on the size of the battery system installed. For more detailed information, you can refer to the REPS scheme at AMBER ENERGY (link to blog about REP scheme)

‍

If I Replace My System, Will I Get a Rebate?

Yes, if you are replacing your existing solar system and installing a brand new system with new panels and inverters, you can claim a new solar rebate. This ensures that even if you’re upgrading or replacing an outdated system, you still benefit from the incentives available.

‍

What Brand Should I Use?

The brand of solar panels and inverters you should use depends on your budget and quality preferences. We recommend reaching out to a qualified solar retailer for more information who can provide personalised recommendations based on your specific needs and budget, ensuring you get the best value and performance from your solar system.
