Install a new battery energy storage system – eligibility

Residential

Answer the following questions to check if you meet the eligibility requirements for the battery installation incentive (BESS1 in the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme). This incentive is for the installation of a behind the meter battery at a residential or small business address. A key requirement of this incentive is that there is already a solar photovoltaic (PV) system installed at your address, though sites without solar can have the incentive priced into the quote for a new solar and battery install. 

If you’re ineligible, we’ll show you why and give you the corresponding rule clauses.
