How it works
Getting Three Quotes Is Easy. Getting The Right Three Is Not.
An instant quote tool can pass your details to three installers in seconds. We would rather take a little longer and get the match right.
01
Tell us about your property
A few questions about your roof, your power bills and what you want the system to do. Every answer is something we match on, which is why we ask.
02
The step that makes the difference
We choose your 3 installers
We work out which installers genuinely suit your job: who covers your area, who has done work like yours, and who has the track record to back it up. Then we approach 3 of them from our vetted network. Three installers chosen for your home, not simply the next three in line.
What vetted means
- Accreditation checked
- Reviews and track record
- Services your area
Matching properly takes a little longer than an instant quote. That is deliberate.
03
Compare your 3 quotes
Three quotes that all suit your home, side by side. Take your time, ask the hard questions, and if none of them are right, walk away. There is no obligation at any point.

South Australia, 2026
Stack Every Rebate You Qualify For
These are separate schemes, and they are designed to be claimed together. Here is how they build up for a South Australian home.
- 01
Federal solar rebate (STCs)
Up to $1,755
Small-scale Technology Certificates come straight off your quoted price. This is the figure for a typical 6.6kW system. A larger system earns more.
Running total: up to $1,755
- 02
Federal battery rebate
Up to $2,500
The Cheaper Home Batteries program takes around 30% off the installed cost of an approved battery. About $2,500 on a typical 10kWh battery. The rate steps down again on 1 January 2027.
Running total: up to $4,255
- 03
South Australian VPP incentive
Up to $2,050
South Australia closed its upfront home battery rebate in 2022. What is still on the table is a virtual power plant incentive through the state Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme, worth up to $2,050 when you join an approved VPP.
Requires joining a VPP
Running total: up to $6,305
Stacked together, up to
$6,305
On a solar and battery install in South Australia.
The battery rebates apply only if you install a battery. A solar only install claims the first layer. Virtual power plant incentives require you to join an approved VPP. Every amount moves with your system size, your battery size, your location and the current STC price. We confirm exactly what you qualify for with your 3 free quotes.
Don't Wait For The Next Drop
The 2026 Solar Rebate Is On The Clock
On 1 January 2027 the deeming period drops another year, cutting the solar panel rebate on a typical 6.6kW system by around $350. Lock in this year's rate while it lasts.
