State-by-State Solar Battery Rebates

Commercial solar and battery projects can qualify for stackable state and federal incentives, from upfront certificate discounts to tax deductions that cut your upfront cost and improve your return on investment.

Commercial solar & battery rebates available in NSW

NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme – BESS4 (20–200 kWh batteries): upfront discount via tradeable certificates. Roughly 20–30% off a battery on its own, or 30–40% when paired with new solar. Live from 1 September 2026.
NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme – BESS5 (200 kWh–30 MWh batteries): built for factories, logistics centres and large commercial sites. Savings scale with system size, can reach six figures, and stack with STCs. Live from 1 September 2026.
NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS): certificate-based discounts on eligible energy-efficient equipment. Standard commercial solar is not a straightforward ESS activity, so our team will advise on eligibility.

Federal incentives such as STCs and the instant asset write-off also apply in NSW – see the Federal tab. Values are indicative and can change. Get a free quote and we will identify every rebate you qualify for.

Commercial solar & battery rebates available in Victoria

Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) – Commercial & Industrial Solar (30–200 kW): upfront discount of up to about 35% off installation cost through Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates. Stackable with federal STCs.
VEU project-based activities – commercial battery storage: value is calculated on measured energy savings, so it varies by site. This is a more complex pathway, and we will advise whether it suits your business.

Victoria has no separate broad state battery rebate for commercial sites. Federal incentives (STCs, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program and the instant asset write-off) also apply – see the Federal tab. Values are indicative and can change. Get a free quote and we will identify every rebate you qualify for.

Commercial solar & battery rebates available in the ACT

ACT Sustainable Household Scheme – battery loan: low-interest (3%) loan of up to $20,000 over up to 10 years. It is designed mainly for households, but some business owners may be eligible in their personal capacity. Confirm with your accountant and ACT Climate Choices.

The ACT’s main commercial incentives are federal. Combining STCs and the instant asset write-off typically reduces your effective project cost by 35–50% – see the Federal tab. Values are indicative and can change. Get a free quote and we will identify every rebate you qualify for.

Commercial solar & battery incentives available Australia-wide

Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs): automatic upfront discount on solar up to 1 MW (the cap was lifted from 100 kW from 1 October 2026). A 100 kW system earns roughly $35,000–$40,000 off the install price.
Cheaper Home Batteries Program: sliding-scale upfront discount of about 30% on eligible batteries (full rate on the first 14 kWh, reduced rates up to 50 kWh). Mainly residential, so we will confirm commercial eligibility for you.
Instant Asset Write-Off: tax deduction for the cost of eligible solar and battery assets, effectively a 25–30% tax saving on net system cost, subject to eligibility. Confirm the current threshold with your accountant.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We installed our solar panels and battery with Smart Energy Answers a few months ago and are very happy with the outcome. Manu was fantastic- he went truly above and beyond with everything from thorough explanations,  competitive quoting and valuable guidance which we really appreciated.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with SEA was first class. From the initial e-mail and then phone calls with Tarek Jawad from the sales team. Tarek was excellent to deal with - not pushy at all and very knowledgeable. When I was ready to proceed Tarek was again very supportive and gave clear timelines to installation date.
The installation went well, the boys were polite and efficient. Everything was clean and tidy and they took time to ensure I was happy with the app for monitoring the system. And now, nearly two months later I am still very happy. There has so far only been one day where we have used grid power and that was when I left the air-con on all night! So Tarek's recommended combination of some additional solar panels and a 'right-sized' battery was spot on for our needs. The cost to us was excellent value (unlike a number of other quotes we received - one was more than double what we paid SEA and one for a just a much too large battery was also considerably more).
Finally Tarek and SEA have both called since installation to ensure all is OK (it is) and we are still happy (We are). I don't often leave reviews but SEA deserve this 5 star comment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whilst I did not go ahead with Smart Energy Answers due to them not being able to meet the timelines for rebates (understandable) - I had a very good consultation with Brad, he explained all the options and answered all my questions. Pricing was competitive.
