  • Both the Federal and NSW Governments offer battery incentives for homes and small businesses.

    Federal Battery Incentive:
    The Cheaper Home Batteries Program provides an upfront discount on eligible battery systems through the existing solar panel STC scheme.

    NSW Battery & VPP Incentives:
    Additional incentives may be available for installing a battery and connecting it to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), which can provide further financial benefits.

    Battery STC incentives reduce in value every 6 months, so timing can make a difference. The current rebate is always built into your solar proposalβ€”so the best way to understand your savings is to request an up-to-date quote.

  • Homes and businesses across Australia can access solar incentives through the Federal Government’s Renewable Energy Target:

    STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates):
    Available for residential and commercial systems up to 100kW. These provide an upfront discount on installation costs, which is already included in your quote.

    LGCs (Large-scale Generation Certificates):
    Available for larger commercial systems (typically over 100kW). These generate ongoing financial returns based on the energy your system produces.

    Businesses should regularly check the NSW Government’s page for any suitable funding / grants.

  • At Eco Sparky, we only work with trusted, high-performance products to ensure lasting quality and results.

    For home solar, we prefer Trina Solar panels for their efficiency and durability. REC panels are available as a premium upgrade. We offer Fronius inverters and Fronius Reserva batteries, as well as the Tesla Powerwall 3 β€” an integrated inverter and battery for a complete, future-ready home energy solution.

    For small business and commercial installations, we tailor each system to suit the specific energy needs of the site. We assess usage patterns, goals, and site conditions to select the most suitable brands and products for optimal performance and return on investment.

    No matter the project size, we’re committed to quality, reliability, and helping you take control of your energy future.

  • Batteries let you store unused solar energy to power your home at night or during blackouts. The Tesla Powerwall 3is a cutting-edge solution offering high capacity, backup protection, and sleek integration with your solar setup.

    A Fronius Reserva Battery System offers scalable energy storage, allowing you to easily expand your setup as your energy needs grow.

  • Analysis by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water shows a household with existing rooftop solar could save up to $1,100 off their power bill every year, and a household installing a new solar and a battery system could save up to $2,300 a year – up to 90 per cent of a typical family electricity bill.

  • Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then changes this into alternating current (AC), which powers your home. A smart meter tracks how much electricity you use and export to the grid.

  • An inverter is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). It is commonly used to power household appliances and electronic devices that require AC power when only DC power sources are available, such as in solar power systems or car batteries.

  • Excess solar energy you produce will be exported to the electricity grid where, depending on your retailer and tariff, you may be given a credit towards your electricity bill.

  • Yes β€” tell us your plans so we can make your system battery ready. That lets you install solar now and add a battery (e.g., Fronius Reserva) later.


    Note: it’s always cheaper overall to install solar and battery together to take full advantage of current rebates and installation rates.

  • Yes, Solar Panels will lower your electricity bill.

    By generating your own electricity from the sun, you'll reduce your reliance on the grid and the electricity you need to purchase from your energy provider.

    The extent of your savings will depend on factors like your home's energy consumption, solar panel system size, and whether you export excess electricity back to the grid or store it in a battery. 

  • Absolutely. We specialise in designing and installing solar systems for businesses of all sizes, from small commercial rooftops to systems over 100kW.

  • Yes, we install EV chargers for everyday use. We specialise in standard AC chargers (not DC fast chargers), with options to integrate seamlessly with your solar and battery system.

  • Absolutely. With the right setup and components in place, your Electric Vehicle can be charged directly from your solar system or from stored battery energy, making your driving genuinely clean, efficient, and cost-effective.
