Accredited Installers

At HV Solar, we’re dedicated to helping NSW residents and businesses harness the full potential of solar energy with the NSW Solar Battery Incentives, launched on 1 November 2024. These incentives provide a fantastic opportunity to upgrade your current solar system or install a new solar and battery solution while saving on upfront costs. Whether you're a homeowner or business owner, our accredited team is here to simplify the process and guide you every step of the way.

How the Incentive Works

The NSW Government has introduced the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) to encourage the adoption of battery storage systems and Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). This initiative offers upfront discounts on battery installations, making solar energy more accessible and affordable for eligible homes and businesses.

Key Objectives of the Scheme:

  • Empower households and businesses to make better use of solar energy, lowering energy costs.
  • Improve the stability and reliability of the power grid.
  • Reduce reliance on fossil fuels, particularly during periods of high demand.
  • Support NSW’s ambitious goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, with a milestone target of 70% emissions reduction by 2035.

Available Incentives:

  1. Battery Installation Incentive:some text
    • Save between $1,600 and $2,400 on the upfront cost of installing a battery, depending on its size.
    • Households and businesses can receive up to $4,500 in discounts for larger battery systems.
  2. Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Connection Incentive:some text
    • Earn $250 to $400 for connecting your battery to a VPP, allowing you to share stored energy with the grid.
    • Receive $800 for participating in a VPP, with this incentive available twice, at least three years apart.

What are the advantages of the solar installation service?

People across the globe are fascinated by solar energy, and the use of solar energy to meet electrical needs has increased in the last couple of years. The following are the top benefits one can expect from a company that install solar in Maitland.

  • Quality products: If you hire a professional company that delivers solar in the Hunter Valley, they will deliver effective solar panels, batteries, inverters, and other needed equipment. If you hire inexperienced individual solar installers, you may end up with poor-working panels that won’t last long.
  • Aesthetic appeal: Presently, solar energy has become more accessible to all categories of people. As a result, some solar panel installation setups appear to be distinct from others. This is because professional solar installation services will fix the solar system in a certain way that enhances the beauty of your home. If you want to take advantage of solar panel beauty, you should consult professional solar installers.
  • Safe and accurate installation: If you observe closely, electricity work is too confusing, and setting solar panels is even more confusing. A solar system is the latest technology. One who has zero knowledge of it simply can not install the solar panels. So, if you hire professional solar installers, they will be in charge of installing solar systems in Newcastle in a safe and efficient manner.
  • Time saving: since professional solar installers are experienced, they know how to install solar panels accurately without any errors. It won’t take much time to install solar power. Time-saving is a notable advantage of solar services.

Benefits of Solar Batteries

Installing a solar battery offers significant advantages for both homes and businesses:

Lower Energy Costs

Solar batteries let you store surplus energy generated during the day, so you can use it later instead of relying on expensive electricity from the grid. This can lead to substantial savings on your electricity bills.

Energy Security

With a solar battery, you’ll have access to backup power during outages, ensuring that essential appliances and devices continue running when you need them most.

Environmentally Friendly Energy Use

By maximising your use of renewable solar energy, you’ll reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner, greener planet.

Eligibility Requirements

The NSW Solar Battery Scheme offers incentives for both battery installations and VPP connections, but certain criteria must be met to qualify:

Battery Installation Incentive

  • Who’s Eligible? Homes and businesses in NSW with an existing solar system but no current battery.
  • Battery Specifications:some text
    • Capacity must range between 2 kWh and 28 kWh.
    • The battery must be internet-enabled and controllable by a Demand Response Aggregator.
    • A minimum 10-year warranty is required, guaranteeing at least 70% usable capacity at the end of the warranty period.
    • It must operate in temperatures between -10°C and 50°C and meet minimum performance standards.
  • The incentive is applied upfront by approved suppliers.

VPP Connection Incentive

  • Who’s Eligible? New and existing batteries with at least 6 years remaining on the warranty.
  • Battery Specifications: Same as above for capacity, connectivity, and warranty conditions.
  • Participation in a VPP must not invalidate the battery warranty.

Why Join a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)?

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) connects multiple batteries across different locations to work as a single energy resource. When you join a VPP, your battery shares excess stored energy with the grid during peak demand. Here’s why it’s worth considering:

  • Earn Rewards: VPP participants are financially compensated for sharing energy with the grid.
  • Support the Community: Help reduce the risk of power outages in your area by supplying energy when it’s needed most.
  • Promote Renewable Energy: Contribute to NSW’s transition to a sustainable energy future.

Building a Greener Future for NSW

The NSW Solar Battery Scheme is more than just an incentive program—it’s a commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable future. By supporting the installation of battery systems and promoting VPP participation, this initiative aims to:

  • Significantly reduce electricity demand during peak periods.
  • Lower the risk of statewide blackouts.
  • Foster greater adoption of renewable energy sources.
