Paying for a battery (general information)

Most households combine upfront discounts with either cash or a loan.

• Federal discount: applied by the retailer under the Cheaper Home Batteries Program (SRES).
• WA rebate/0% loan: processed via approved vendors under the WA Residential Battery Scheme.

Green-loan options (examples to research)

Some Australians consider green personal loans for solar+battery systems. Review product pages, comparison rates and eligibility directly with lenders/brokers. (We're not a credit provider or financial adviser.)

• Northern Inland Credit Union — Green Loan (battery eligible; see current T&Cs).
• Community First Bank — Green Loan (homeowner environmental upgrades).
• Parker Lane — Green Loan (brokered green loans). (Check lender sites for latest details.)

Tip: Compare the real after-incentive price (federal + WA), then evaluate finance total cost vs. bill savings from the calculator.
