Power Your Home with Solar
Lock in $0 Bills Before the December 31 Deadline

Most NSW homeowners qualify for federal STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates), which provide around $3,800 in rebates for a typical 6.6kW system. The 30% battery discount applies to eligible battery installations and can save you $2,500-$3,500.

To qualify, you need to:

• Own your property (or have landlord approval)
• Have a suitable roof with adequate space and sun exposure
• Install an approved system before December 31, 2025
• Use a CEC-accredited installer (like Kratos Energy)

The FREE battery and inverter offer is available for eligible customers who meet specific criteria - we'll assess your eligibility during your free consultation.

If you wait until after December 31, 2025, you'll face several financial impacts:

• STC rebate reduces by approximately $380-$500 per system
• 30% federal battery discount steps down or ends (lose $2,500-$3,500)
• VPP participation bonus of $400 expires
• Total loss: approximately $760-$1,200 in incentives

Additionally:

• Installation queues extend by 3-4 weeks into 2026
• 2026 electricity rate increases hit before your system is active
• You lose 1-2 months of savings (worth $200-$400)

The longer you wait, the more it costs you in both lost incentives and ongoing electricity bills.

The complete process typically takes 3-4 weeks from assessment to activation:

• Week 1: Free assessment, custom proposal, and approval
• Week 2-3: Scheduling and pre-installation coordination
• Week 3-4: Physical installation (1-2 days) and grid connection approval
• Week 4+: System activation and monitoring setup

The actual installation on your roof takes just 1-2 days with our qualified electrician teams. Most of the timeline is administrative - waiting for grid connection approvals from your distributor.

To meet the December 31 deadline for maximum rebates, we recommend starting your assessment by mid-December at the latest.

Very few roofs are "perfect," and we work with all types of roof configurations:

• Shaded areas: We design around shade and use optimizers if needed
• Older roofs: We assess structural integrity and can coordinate repairs if necessary
• Complex angles: Our team specializes in multi-plane installations
• Limited space: We optimize panel placement for maximum generation
• Tile/metal/colorbond: We have experience with all roof types

During your free assessment, we'll review photos of your roof and provide honest feedback. If solar isn't suitable for your property, we'll tell you upfront - no pressure, no obligation.

In most cases, we can find a solution that works for your home.

Yes, you can absolutely start with solar only and add a battery later. However, there are financial considerations:

Starting with solar + battery NOW:

• 30% federal battery discount saves you $2,500-$3,500
• $400 VPP bonus available
• Single installation (lower labor costs)
• Immediate 24/7 solar benefits
• Total savings: ~$3,000-$4,000

Adding battery LATER (after Dec 31):

• Battery discount may be reduced or ended
• VPP bonus expired
• Second installation required (additional labor costs)
• Delayed blackout protection and peak-rate savings

If budget allows, we strongly recommend including the battery now while incentives are maximized. If not, we can design your solar system to be "battery-ready" for easy future addition.
