Thinking about solar panels or a battery system but holding back because of worries? You’re not alone. At NexaPower, we’ve listened to what Aussies ask most — and we clear up those worries so you can make a confident decision. Let’s dive into the top concerns, the real stories behind them, and how our solutions make going solar easy.
“Solar is too expensive to start”
Many Aussies worry the upfront cost of solar panels + batteries will bust their budget. The truth? Government programs have made a huge difference. For example, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program offers around a 30% discount on eligible battery systems, helping cut that sticker-shock. If you get a 10 kWh battery, you could see a rebate of ~$3,440 in 2025 under current Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) values. How NexaPower solves it: We show you the actual cost after rebates, help you choose system sizes that suit your home and budget, and offer flexible product / financing options from our All Products range. That way you don’t pay for more than you need — but you still get quality gear.
“Will I really save enough to pay it back?”
Return on investment (ROI) is a legit concern. Many folks wonder: How many years till this starts paying off? Feed-in tariff rates (what you get paid for exporting excess solar to the grid) have dropped a lot in many states. In NSW, for instance, benchmarks are now around 4.8 to 7.3 cents per kWh. In other areas, rates are even lower. That means relying purely on feed-in payments isn’t great.
How NexaPower solves it: We put together customised estimates based on your actual energy use, your roof direction, sun hours, expected panel & battery output, and local feed-in rates. We show you savings from reduced grid consumption (using your own solar + battery), not just what you earn from excess power exports. With the rebates (like ~$344-$372 per usable kWh in 2025 for batteries) factored in, your payback period shortens significantly.
“Is the technology reliable & how long will it last?”
Concerns about maintenance, battery lifespan, panel durability are common. People ask: Will batteries degrade quickly? Will panels survive rain, hail, Aussie sun? What about warranty?
How NexaPower solves it: We supply products from trusted brands with solid warranties. Every panel, inverter or battery in our product list (see All Products) is tested and compliant with Australian standards. We work with accredited installers. Maintenance is simple — keeping panels clean, unobstructed, checking battery health. We also walk you through the expected lifespan and performance drop-off so you know what to expect.
“I don’t understand rebates, policies, or which feed-in tariff I get”
Australia has a patchwork of rebate schemes, STCs, state incentives, differing feed-in tariffs depending on where you live. It’s confusing. Some Aussies postpone solar because they’re unsure if they’ll qualify for the programs, or whether it’s worth the effort.
How NexaPower solves it: We stay on top of all relevant rebate & incentive programs (federal & state), we explain them in plain English, we tell you what you’re eligible for. And we factor those into quotes. Also, we show you current feed-in tariffs in your state (or local area) so you understand what exporting excess power will earn (if anything). No surprises.
“What about battery safety, installation hassle, support after purchase?”
Some folks worry about safety (fire risk, electrical standards), mess during installation, poor support if something goes wrong.
How NexaPower solves it: We only use certified, approved (Australian / international standard) equipment. Installation is done by accredited installers who follow all safety / electrical codes. We provide warranties, reliable after-sales support, spare parts / service if needed. We also supply clear guidance on what’s involved so you know how much disruption (if any) to expect during installation.
