Frequently Asked Questions

Do Newcastle homes qualify for solar rebates? +

Yes, Newcastle (2300) is in STC Zone 3, receiving a substantial federal government rebate (STC scheme). This is automatically applied as a point-of-sale discount by your installer, significantly reducing the upfront cost.

What size solar system suits Newcastle properties? +

A 6.6kW system is the most common size for residential homes. Newcastle's mix of coastal breezes and good sun hours makes this size highly efficient, though larger properties may benefit from 10kW+ systems.

Is battery storage worth it in Newcastle? +

Batteries are increasingly valuable in Newcastle due to rising electricity rates. Storing excess solar for evening use protects you from peak tariff spikes and enhances energy independence during grid outages.

How long does solar installation take? +

A typical installation takes 1 day. Most Newcastle properties have standard roof access, making installation straightforward, though heritage listed homes may require special care.

What rebates are available in NSW? +

In addition to the federal STC rebate, NSW residents may be eligible for the 'Empowering Homes' solar battery loan program or specific low-income household offers. Check for current eligibility criteria.
