Four government incentive streams available to South Australian homeowners right now.
The main federal solar rebate. Available to all homeowners installing grid-connected solar under 100kW. Applied as an upfront discount on your quote — typically $1,500 to $3,000+ for a 6.6kW system. We handle all paperwork.
State government subsidy for eligible SA households adding battery storage. Eligibility depends on address, existing solar, and household circumstances. We check and apply on your behalf.
New federal rebate introduced in 2025 to reduce home battery costs nationally. Combined with the SA scheme, this significantly reduces battery installation cost for eligible households.

STCs decrease every year and end in 2030. The SA Home Battery Scheme and federal battery rebate have their own eligibility conditions and funding limits.
