How to Access the Rebate
To qualify for the Federal rebate, follow these steps:
The Federal battery STC rebate is vendor-lead and works in a similar way to the solar panel STC rebates. The discount will be automatically applied by your chosen vendor at the time of quotation/ installation. All Australians are entitled to this rebate assuming certain system parameters are satisfied.

4. Get a quote and apply:
Your chosen vendor will submit the rebate application on your behalf.
5. Sign up to Synergy's "Synergy Battery Rewards" program
If you are choosing to apply for the WA State Rebate sign up to the Synergy Battery Rewards programme (you can chose not to opt-in to the Synergy program and still be eligible for the Federal Battery STC rebate).
