Solar and batteries
Newcastle and the Hunter have a strong trades workforce. Many local electricians are adding solar and batteries to their services. Growth around Maitland adds a steady flow of new homes.
NSW no longer pays a certificate for a home battery on its own. It pays an extra incentive when the battery joins a virtual power plant (VPP).
The federal battery discount drops from 6.8 to 5.7 STCs per kWh in January 2027. Installs need an SAA accredited installer.
