Why Install Solar with Your Battery?

Installing new solar alongside an eligible battery may increase the available PDRS incentive because projects with co-installed solar are assessed under a more favourable demand-shifting methodology than battery-only installations. Our team will assess whether your project qualifies and model both scenarios.

Who is eligible?

Apartment buildings, small and medium businesses, and commercial or industrial sites that meet the relevant PDRS eligibility requirements.

Do I need an existing solar system?

No. Battery-only projects are eligible under BESS3, BESS4 and BESS5. However, eligible projects that include new solar may receive higher incentives under the PDRS methodology.

When do these incentives commence?

BESS3, BESS4 and BESS5 apply to eligible installations completed on or after 1 September 2026.

How is the incentive calculated?

The incentive depends on several factors, including battery capacity, inverter capacity, project type, and whether new solar is installed. Every project is individually assessed in accordance with the NSW PDRS methodology.
