Not every “solar incentive” is money upfront.
Installation support
Often needs a reservation before work starts. Check income limits, contractor rules, funding and deadlines.
Credits & exemptions
Income-tax credits, sales-tax relief and property-value exclusions work differently. Do not count each as cash off a quote.
Payment for generation
Netting, buy-all and export rates affect future bills. Identify your utility and tariff before modelling savings.
Before signing a solar contract
Check the rules. Then run the numbers.
Get a cash quote before incentives. Confirm who applies, when approval is required and who receives the benefit. Use your actual utility bill to estimate the remaining cost.

Our battery and outage tools remain available as supporting resources. A portable power station is not automatically eligible for a rooftop-solar programme.
