Solar rebate questions
Can I combine the STC rebate and a battery subsidy?
In many cases, yes. STCs apply to eligible solar generation equipment, while battery subsidies or loan programs may apply separately to storage. Solar Chief confirms current eligibility during quoting.
Do I need to apply for the STC rebate myself?
Usually no. For eligible systems, the STC rebate is applied at point of sale by the installer, reducing the upfront price shown in your quote.
Is every home eligible for the NSW zero-interest loan?
No. Eligibility depends on NSW Government program rules, household income, ownership status and approved upgrade requirements.
Can Solar Chief tell me exactly what I qualify for?
Solar Chief can check your system and property details against current program guidance, but final eligibility sits with the relevant government or program provider.
