We will be releasing the CQ6 battery series together with the newest Smart Pro inverter across:

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 though). Details can be found on the Cheaper Home Batteries Program Page of DCCEEW Australia.
Securing your installation now helps lock in current rebate benefits. Pricing is locked at giving at start. We'll install it in a week or two, so you won't have to worry about rebates at all. We'll help you finish the paper work end-to-end.
