How to apply for Tasmanian rebates

  1. Get one written quote

    Get a written quote from one SAA-accredited (formerly CEC) installer in Tasmania. Make sure they're registered with the federal battery program.

  2. Confirm the STC discount

  3. Choose a battery option

    Select an installer registered with the Cheaper Home Batteries program for additional battery savings.

  4. Schedule installation

    Book your installation date. Tasmania's long summer days provide excellent solar generation.

    Your installer handles grid connection with Aurora Energy, including your feed-in tariff setup.

  6. Start generating

    Start generating your own power and earning feed-in credits while reducing your power bills.
