The battery is the point. The panels are what fill it.
Every package is built around lithium iron phosphate storage. 30 kWh on a small home, 42 kWh on a big one, sized to cover the evening peak and the night after it. Priced up front, installed by New Ability Energy.

What people ask us first
The battery is the part people ask about, so it is the part we answer first.
Nothing below is a number we cannot show you the source of.
-
01
Is the battery any good?
Lithium iron phosphate cells, 30 kWh on the small home and 42 kWh on the big one. You get the brand name before you commit, not after.
-
02
Who actually installs it?
New Ability Energy. Our parent company, their own electricians, on their own books. Not a subcontractor found for the week.
-
03
Will you still be around for the warranty?
New Ability Energy has been an electrical contractor for ten years and holds the contract and the warranty on every system we sell.
-
04
Is your price fully inclusive?
Yes. Our quotes include installation and a close look at your eligibility, your infrastructure and your bill. No hidden costs.
Check what applies
Five questions, and you know what you qualify for.
The Commonwealth discount, the New South Wales scheme and 0% finance each carry their own conditions. Five questions sort out which ones your property meets. Nothing is sent anywhere: the answers stay in this browser.
This is a first pass, not an approval. Solar Up runs the eligibility check properly before anyone quotes you, and the application is yours to lodge.
Your system
Pick the size of the house.
Every figure on this page moves with it, including the one in the bar and the one on your quote. None of them is final until we have looked at the place.
Solar Up buys at volume as an authorised distributor and New Ability Energy installs in-house rather than through a subcontractor. That is where the price comes from.

That figure is where this system starts. What it costs at your address depends on your roof, your switchboard, your orientation and your tariff, so we look at all of it before anyone quotes you.
Nobody gets quoted before their house does.
The price on this page is where a system starts. What it costs at your address depends on your roof, your tariff and how you actually use power, so we model that first.
01
You press the button
That is the whole ask. There is no pricing gate and no phone number to hand over before you are allowed to see a number.
02
We talk, and you send one bill
One conversation to understand the house. One recent bill, because a bill carries how you actually use power rather than how a brochure assumes you do.
03
We model the design
Your roof, your orientation, your tariff and how you use power through the day. The system is sized against that data rather than against the package you happened to click.
04
Then, and only then, a quote
We walk you through what the design does and what it does not do, in your numbers. If it does not make sense for your house, we will say so.
05
Install day
New Ability Energy's own crew, working to one plan. They hold the contract, the licence and the warranty on the finished system.
Then a number you can check, for your house.

New South Wales, September 2026
Why you should buy a battery today in New South Wales.
The Commonwealth takes about 30% off the cost of a home battery, and the certificates that fund it are on a published schedule that steps down every year. The state discount that used to sit beside it has closed to households. So the question is no longer whether there is help, it is how much of it is still on the table.

Cheaper Home Batteries Program
Commonwealth · home batteries
The Commonwealth discounts a home battery by around 30% of what it costs to install, delivered as small-scale certificates that come off the invoice rather than as a cheque you chase later. Batteries from 5 kWh to 100 kWh qualify, certificates are claimable on the first 50 kWh, and the battery has to go in with solar, new or existing. Clean Energy Regulator
-
02 6.8 → 5.7 certificates per kWh, now vs January
About $950 to $1,100 less on the same battery if you wait until January.
The certificates step down every year
Commonwealth · the reason today matters
The certificate factor behind that discount is legislated on a declining schedule: 8.4 per kWh to April 2026, 6.8 from May to December 2026, 5.7 from January 2027, and down to 2.1 by 2030. It is not a sale and nothing is running out. It is a published table, and the number on it is larger this year than next. Clean Energy Regulator
-
03 100 / 60 / 15% of the factor, by band
About $260 a kWh to 14 kWh, $155 to 28 kWh, $40 after that.
Size changes what you get back
Commonwealth · from 1 May 2026
Since 1 May 2026 the certificates are tiered. The first 14 kWh earns the full factor, everything from 14 to 28 kWh earns 60% of it, and 28 to 50 kWh earns 15%. A bigger battery still earns more in total, but not proportionally, which is exactly why the sizing conversation happens before the quote. Clean Energy Regulator
-
04 ~20-40% off the upfront cost
Around $37,000 on a small business system, on the state's own worked example.
NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme
State · business and apartment buildings
From 1 September 2026 NSW cuts the upfront cost of a battery by around 20 to 40% for businesses, and for owners corporations in buildings of four or more units. Business systems run from 20 kWh to 30,000 kWh; apartment systems from 20 to 200 kWh. It does not cover a standard house, and we will say so rather than let you assume it does. NSW Government

05 closed to homes and business owners
Nothing, now. It is the one people are still waiting on.
The state household discount has closed
State · what people still ask about
NSW ran its own battery installation discount for households and has now withdrawn it. The Commonwealth program is what replaced it. If you have been waiting for the state rebate to come back before you move, that is the thing worth knowing. NSW Climate and Energy Action
-
06 $0 up front, if you qualify
A repayment instead of a bill. The difference is that a repayment ends.
0% finance, through Plenti
Not a rebate. It is what makes people go ahead.
If you qualify for 0% finance there is nothing to pay on the day. The balance after the discounts is paid off over time, so what leaves your account is a repayment on something you will end up owning rather than a bill for electricity you have already used. One financial check, done before you commit to anything.
Qualifying your eligibility
-
01
We find out what you qualify for
Which of these your address can actually use depends on the battery, the solar already on the site and the building. We check that against what is running this month and tell you what applies, not what might.
-
02
We help you lodge the applications
The application is yours to make and yours to sign. We assemble it: the system details, the compliance paperwork and the certificate assignment, ready to go, so the part you sign is the only part you have to think about.
-
03
You are good to go
Where a scheme runs on certificates the value is assigned at installation and shows as a reduction on what you pay. There is nothing to claim back afterwards and nothing to chase.
