$500 off eligible solar and/or battery until 31 Dec 2026 with code SEC500. Refer a friend: both complete solar + battery, $500 each; battery-only, $250 each.

Batteries

Cheaper Home Batteries, after May 2026

First 14 kWh at full rate, then 60%, then 15%. Not a flat $370 anymore.

103 STCs · about $245/kWh effective · indicative out-of-pocket $11,286$16,086

Rebate per kWh is highest at ≤14 kWh. Bigger than 28 kWh is mostly backup, not subsidy.
