Similiar to my other post, this time the solar and battery packages.
*Update on 22 Jan 2026: After we discussed with Fox Ess Vic, we are happy to lower all package by $500. It would only affect the customer that installed from 26 Jan.
☀️ Rebates
Please note: from 1 January, the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program has adjusted the rebate calculation. For large-capacity batteries e.g.Fox Ess 41.9kWh systems, the rebate amount is lower compared to December, with the difference being around $1,500.This is due to the scheduled adjustment of the STC factor, which can be find by googling 'The STC Factor will be adjusted'. We tried our best to lower the price down as well, so the price is 1200 ~ 1300 up only.

⏰ Why This Might Be Worth Acting Now
Rebate rules will be changed. Batteries over 14kWh may no longer be eligible for the rebate level as today, meaning higher out-of-pocket costs (around 5k to 9k) for large-capacity systems if you wait. (Good news if you want smaller batteries through). Details can be found on Cheaper Home Batteries Program Page of DCCEEW Australia.
