As of November 1, 2024, new battery incentives will be available for homes and businesses in New South Wales, providing a unique opportunity to enhance your solar energy system. At Opera Solar Energy, an accredited supplier of Solar Batteries in NSW, Australia, we are committed to helping you take advantage of these incentives to maximize your solar energy usage and reduce your electricity bills.
Under the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS), households and businesses with rooftop solar can install residential battery storage and connect to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This initiative aims to make the energy grid more reliable and stable while significantly decreasing reliance on fossil fuels during peak demand periods. It’s a step towards reducing emissions in NSW by 70% by 2035 and achieving net zero by 2050.
Eligible customers can benefit from substantial incentives, including:
- Up to $2,400 off the upfront installation costs of a battery, depending on its size.
- An additional $400 for connecting your battery to a Virtual Power Plant, available twice, a minimum of three years apart.
- If you don’t currently have solar, these incentives can be integrated into the quote for a new solar and battery installation.
This installation incentive is typically provided as an upfront discount from approved suppliers like Opera Solar Energy. With various suppliers offering different products, services, and incentives, you have the flexibility to choose the option that best suits your needs.
Preparing your home or business for a battery system is essential to fully capitalize on these incentives. By working with an accredited supplier, you can ensure a smooth Solar installation process in NSW, Australia, and start enjoying the benefits of solar energy storage.
