$2,200 off your battery

Your installer takes this off the quote; you do not claim it. A few installers pass on a little less, as certificates can sell for just under $40. Join a virtual power plant and the NSW incentive adds about $292 more.

What you payFederal

VPP: the federal discount only needs a VPP-capable battery; the NSW incentive is paid when you join one.

How this is worked out

The federal discount is paid in small-scale technology certificates (STCs). Multiply usable kWh by the STC factor for your install date: the first 14 kWh count in full, the next 14 (up to 28 kWh) count 60%, and the slice up to 50 kWh counts 15%; the total rounds down to whole certificates. Each certificate is worth up to $40 (the clearing house price); on the open market it sold for about $37 to $40 in 2026.

Factors: May to December 2026 6.8; January to June 2027 5.7; July to December 2027 5.2. Source: the Clean Energy Regulator's STC factor table.

Typical prices are the installed ranges published by CHOICE for 10 to 50 kWh (prices from SolarQuotes installers), with sizes in between drawn on a straight line. The state amounts come from each state's scheme page.

BYD Battery-Box Premium HVM rebate for each size

A single HVM tower holds 3 to 8 modules, giving 8.1 to 21.7 kWh usable. Because the federal discount is based on usable kWh, an install by 31 December 2026 gives $2,200 for the HVM, 3 modules and $5,040 for the HVM, 8 modules.

Battery	Certificates	Federal discount	From January 2027
HVM, 3 modules (8.1 kWh)	55	$2,200	$1,840
HVM, 4 modules (10.8 kWh)	73	$2,920	$2,440
HVM, 5 modules (13.6 kWh)	92	$3,680	$3,080
HVM, 6 modules (16.3 kWh)	104	$4,160	$3,480
HVM, 7 modules (19 kWh)	115	$4,600	$3,840
HVM, 8 modules (21.7 kWh)	126	$5,040	$4,240

You can connect up to three identical HVM towers in parallel, with a total capacity of no more than 65 kWh. Details from the BYD product page.

Does the BYD Battery-Box Premium HVM qualify for the rebate?

To qualify, it has to be a model the Clean Energy Council has approved, connected to solar, and fitted by an installer accredited with Solar Accreditation Australia. Your installer makes sure your exact model and inverter are on that list when they quote. What it is: lithium iron phosphate in 2.71 kWh modules.
