With the NSW Solar Battery Rebate launching this November, Randwick residents are in a prime position to maximise their savings by combining state and local rebates. The NSW rebate offers up to $4,800 for solar battery installations, plus up to an additional $800 when you join a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Pair this with Randwick City Council’s sustainability rebates—covering solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, and EV chargers—offering up to $2,250 in savings. Together, these rebates can provide homeowners with almost $7,500 in total savings, making solar, battery storage, and smart energy solutions more affordable than ever. Here’s how you can take full advantage of these incentives!
Randwick City Council offers sustainability rebates to promote eco-friendly technologies and reduce carbon footprints. These incentives help residents afford solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, and EV chargers, making green energy more accessible. This initiative supports both individual households and a community shift towards renewable energy.
Why install an EV Charger? Installing an EV charger at home offers unmatched convenience and helps future-proof your property for the growing electric vehicle market. Home charging provides flexibility and allows you to take advantage of lower electricity rates during off-peak hours. Randwick residents can claim up to $250 of the cost of installing an EV charger, making it an affordable way to prepare your home for the future of electric mobility.
Eligibility:
Why install a Heat Pump? Heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat water in your home, using far less electricity than traditional hot water systems. They help reduce your energy bills and your environmental impact, making them an excellent choice for sustainability. Randwick residents can claim up to $500 of the cost of an electric heat pump or rooftop solar hot water system. Additionally, you can benefit from the Federal Government’s Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STC) rebate and the State Government’s Energy Savings Scheme (ESC) rebate, organised by your installer.
Eligibility:
Why install Rooftop Solar? Rooftop solar allows you to generate clean energy for your home, reducing your reliance on the grid and cutting down your electricity bills. Solar power also increases the value of your property, and with the upcoming NSW Solar Battery Rebate in November, it’s a smart investment to pair solar with battery storage for even more savings. Randwick homeowners can claim 10% of the cost of installing rooftop solar, up to $500, making it easier than ever to adopt renewable energy.
Eligibility:
Why install a Solar Battery? Installing a solar battery allows you to store excess energy generated by your solar panels and use it when the sun isn’t shining, helping you further reduce energy costs and become more independent from the grid. Solar battery systems also offer greater energy security during power outages. Randwick residents can claim 10% of the cost of installing a solar battery, up to $1,000, making energy storage a more affordable investment for long-term savings.
Eligibility:
