  • Federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount. Roughly 30% off the upfront cost, applied at the point of sale.
  • NSW VPP connection incentive. A separate incentive, up to about $1,500 gross (roughly $500 to $1,015 net), for connecting an eligible battery to an approved Virtual Power Plant. It does not combine with the federal discount into one figure.

Why add a battery in Newcastle?

Newcastle and the Hunter combine strong solar with high grid prices, so storing your own power makes real sense here.

A solar battery stores the power your panels make during the day and runs your home through the expensive evening peak, instead of selling it back for a few cents. We check the federal and New South Wales rebates you qualify for, model your payback, and match you with one accredited installer who knows the Hunter.
