Two reasons the window is closing fast.
Your 44c feed-in tariff ends in 2028 — and the battery rebate is shrinking every six months until then. Wait, and you lose both.
Whammy #1
Your 44c FIT ends 1 July 2028
After 2028 your export rate drops from 44c to roughly 8c per kWh — an 80% cut in export income overnight. Upgrading now means you store your solar instead of giving it away cheap.
Whammy #2
Battery rebate drops every 6 months
STC incentives are calculated on a deeming period that shrinks every year. A 32kWh battery worth $5,630 in rebates today will be worth only $1,739 by end of 2030 — a loss of $3,891.

Your old system is costing you money.
Export income drops ~80%
When the 44c FIT ends, your export rate falls to around 6–10c per kWh. Every kWh you send to the grid earns you a fraction of what it does today.
Rebates shrink every year
STC rebates are calculated on a deeming period that reduces annually. Waiting until 2028 means leaving thousands of dollars on the table.
Old panels lose efficiency
Solar panels degrade roughly 0.5% per year. A 10-year-old system is already producing noticeably less than it did on day one.

Solar + Battery package
Store your solar. Stop sending it cheap.
A new solar + battery system means you use your own power instead of exporting it for next to nothing. Paired with the GoodWe ESA all-in-one, you get full house backup, seamless grid switching, and up to 48kWh of storage.
How much could you save?
Move the sliders to match your situation. We'll estimate your savings based on real Australian averages.
Check your power bill — quarterly FIT credits × 4
Auto-set from FIT credits — adjust if needed
Estimates only. Annual Power Bill (after 44c FIT ends) is estimated by back-calculating daily consumption from your FIT credits (export kWh = annual FIT credits ÷ 44¢, assuming ~50% of generation is exported), then applying a 30¢/kWh tariff and $1.10/day supply charge. This is a simplified proxy — your actual bill after 2028 will depend on your real consumption, chosen retailer tariff, and any new solar + battery system installed. Annual savings assume an 80% bill reduction after a solar + battery upgrade. Grid cost projection assumes 5% annual electricity price increases based on historical QLD data. System and battery sizes are indicative only and do not account for roof orientation, shading, or future usage changes. A free energy assessment will provide accurate figures for your home.

Three steps to energy independence
Free Energy Assessment
We review your current system, usage, and roof orientation. You'll get a clear picture of what you'd save and what it would cost — no sales pressure.
Custom System Design
Our engineers design the right solar + battery combination for your home. We handle all SAA compliance, grid connection paperwork, and council approvals.
Professional Installation
SAA-accredited installers complete the job in one to two days. Your new system is live, monitored, and backed by a full product and workmanship warranty.
What changes the day your system goes live.
A modern solar and battery system doesn't just cut your power bill — it changes your relationship with energy entirely.
Generate Your Own Power
Your panels produce free electricity from sunlight every day. The more you self-consume, the less you pay the grid — and with a battery, you keep generating value after sunset.
Slash Your Power Bill
Australian homeowners with solar and battery are saving an average of $3,200 per year on electricity. That's money that stays in your pocket, not the retailer's.
Backup Power During Outages
When the grid goes down, your battery keeps your lights, fridge, and essentials running. No more scrambling for candles during storms — your home stays powered.
Increase Your Property Value
Homes with solar and battery systems consistently sell faster and at a premium. Buyers see a lower running cost from day one — and that's reflected in the price they're willing to pay.
Protect Against Rising Rates
Australian electricity prices have risen over 30% in the past five years. Every unit of solar you generate is a unit you don't buy from the grid — locking in your own price at zero.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
A typical 13kW solar system offsets around 14 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of taking three cars off the road. Clean energy at home is one of the highest-impact choices a household can make.
