G’day! If you’ve been eyeing solar systems or batteries for your home and wondering, “Am I eligible for rebates?”, then this one’s for you. As a blog writer representing NexaPower, I’ll walk you through the rebate landscape, how to check your eligibility, and how pairing your system with NexaPower gear makes sense. Let’s get stuck in.




“Are You Eligible for Solar Rebates? NexaPower’s Quick Australian Checklist Nexapower best solar company in Australia

Why Rebates Matter Right Now

Energy bills are biting, and solar rebates make a big difference in reducing upfront costs. The federal and state governments have incentive programs to encourage homeowners to go solar or add battery storage. For example, under the federal scheme the battery must be installed with an existing or new solar system. Many Australians are eligible — the key is making sure your property, system size and installation meet criteria. 

By checking your eligibility early, you could save thousands and accelerate pay-back. And when you combine that with NexaPower’s solutions (see their full product range here: NexaPower “All Products” ), the path becomes even smoother.



Quick Eligibility Checklist for Aussies

Here’s your no-bull checklist — tick these off to see if you meet the key criteria for solar & battery rebates:

  1. Homeowner or eligible tenant: Most rebates ask that you own the property or have landlord consent. 


  1. System size & type: For the federal battery rebate, your battery must be sized between ~5–100 kWh and be installed with a solar PV system. 

  2. Accredited installation: Your panels and/or battery must be CEC-approved and the installer must be qualified. 

  3. Eligible products: Ensure the gear is approved under the relevant lists (panels, inverter, battery) and you’re using genuine new equipment. 

  4. State/territory criteria: Some state rebates have extra rules (income caps, property value, previous installations). Eg. in Victoria you need combined household income under $210k and property value under $3 m. 

  5. Installation date & claim deadlines: Many rebates require the installation to happen after a certain date and claims made within a timeframe. Eg. batteries installed on or after 1 July 2025 under one program. 

If you’ve ticked most or all of the above, you’re in good shape to claim rebates. If not, don’t stress — NexaPower’s team can help you check.



How NexaPower Makes It Easy

Let’s say you’re keen to install a solar + battery system with NexaPower gear. Here’s how the “problem” becomes the “solution”:


The problem: You’ve got rising power bills, you’re exporting surplus solar at low feed-in rates, and you’re unsure if you qualify for rebates.

The solution: Choose from NexaPower’s product range (see All Products), get a system sized to your home, check eligibility for rebate, install through approved installer — immediate savings + long-term benefits.

Because NexaPower offers storage-ready solutions, you can pair your solar PV system with a battery and tap into rebates that require both. This means you’re not just installing panels — you’re setting up a smart system designed for rebate eligibility and long‐term savings.



State Highlights & What to Watch

  • Victoria: The program offers a rebate up to ~A$1,400 for PV systems if your household income is under $210k and home value under $3m. solar.vic.gov.au

  • Federal Battery Rebate: Under the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, you are eligible if you are a homeowner (or eligible small business) and install a battery with solar. No means test in many cases. 

  • System size & gear compliance matter: For example, the federal scheme says batteries must be installed with a solar PV system, and system must meet CEC and SAA (installer) standards. 

Important tip: Even if you only install panels now, plan for storage later. NexaPower systems are built with storage-readiness in mind, meaning you can upgrade smoothly when you’re ready.



5 Fast-Action Tips Before You Commit

  1. Get a quote from NexaPower with a breakdown of system components, estimated savings and eligibility for rebates.

  2. Ask for proof of installer accreditation — CEC approved product list + SAA‐accredited installer.

  3. Check your roof & usage — Is your PV sized correctly? Will you benefit more from exporting or storing energy?

  4. Document everything — Keep quotes, proof of ownership, income/property info if required for your state rebate.

  5. Install sooner rather than later — Some rebate values reduce over time and availability can be limited.



Final Word – Your Aussie Solar Move

At the end of the day, the question isn’t whether you can install solar or batteries — it’s how smartly you go about it. With incentives available, there’s no reason to leave thousands of dollars in savings on the table.

When you run the checklist above, tick your eligibility boxes, and partner with a trusted provider like NexaPower, you’re making a move that’s financially savvy and built for long‐term performance.
