What that looks like
What we cover on the systems our customers choose
Federal rebates for solar, batteries and hot water heat pumps step down on 1 January 2027. Same system, same roof, smaller rebate. These are the sizes our customers chose most over the last six months.

|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller7 kW solar + 18 kWh battery | $5,883 | $4,847 | $1,036 |
| Our most common13.2 kW solar + 27 kWh battery | $8,843 | $7,289 | $1,554 |
| Larger17 kW solar + 36 kWh battery | $10,249 | $8,399 | $1,850 |
| Battery on its own27 kWh, added to existing solar | $5,476 | $4,588 | $888 |
Rebates at $37 a certificate including GST. Your proposal shows the exact figure for your system. Hot water heat pumps are included too, and the amount depends on the model.
Why we are doing this
The federal rebates step down every January. That is how the schemes are written, and there is nothing we can do about it in the long run.
What we can do is something about it right now. A system signed today is usually installed in January, just after the rebate drops. So for the next 20 customers, until we are booked out for January, we cover the difference ourselves.
Why only 20?
Summit + Shore is a premium service. Every system is installed by our own in-house team of SAA accredited electricians, and 20 installs is their capacity for January.
So it is first in, best dressed. Once those 20 spots are booked, the offer is finished. There is no other deadline.
Questions
The short answers
Is this a government offer?
No. The government rebate steps down on 1 January for everyone. The difference is a Summit + Shore discount, shown as its own line on your invoice. To learn more about how the rebates work and what changes on 1 January, see our government rebates page.
Is the counter real?
Yes. It comes straight from our installation schedule and it drops each time a January install is booked. We check the schedule and update it every day.
When does the sale end?
When the 20 available January spots are booked. There is no other deadline.
What if you can install me before 31 December?
Then you get the real 2026 rebate and there is nothing to cover. Either way you pay the same.
What if my install slips past January?
If the delay is ours or the network’s, we still honour it
Does it cover a battery added to solar I already have?
Yes. Solar, batteries and hot water heat pumps are all included, together or on their own.
What about the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme?
Nothing changes there on 1 January. It works alongside this offer as usual.

We look at your home and your bills first, then design the system around them. If it suits you and a January spot is still open, the 2026 rebate is yours.
The fine print
- The Black Friday rebate lock is a discount from Summit and Shore Energy Pty Ltd. It is not a government rebate or an extension of one.
- It applies to the first 20 residential proposals for solar, battery or hot water heat pump systems signed on or after 13 November 2026. The offer closes when the twentieth proposal is signed.
- Where the system is installed in January 2027, we take the difference between the federal rebate at the 2026 settings and the federal rebate on the install date off the invoice, calculated at the certificate value shown on the proposal.
- Systems installed on or before 31 December 2026 receive the 2026 federal rebate in the usual way and no further discount applies.
- If installation falls after 31 January 2027 because of a delay on our side or the network’s, the discount still applies. If the customer asks to move the installation past 31 January 2027, the rebate on the install date applies.
- A spot is held from signing. If a signed proposal is cancelled or does not proceed, the spot is released.
- The number of spots shown on this page is updated by us from our installation schedule, usually daily, and may lag by a short time. The order in which installs are booked decides who holds a spot.
- The discount is not redeemable for cash and applies only to the system on the signed proposal. All installations remain subject to site inspection and grid connection approval.
