Essential Resources

Federal Battery Support

Federal battery support is changing from 1 January 2027. The applicable support factor depends on when an eligible battery installation is completed, making timing and current program requirements important for households planning a battery in 2026.

Solar Sharer Offer

The Solar Sharer Offer provides eligible households with three hours of free electricity each day. While the headline is simple, the value depends on the complete electricity plan, household usage and how much energy can realistically be moved into the free period.

Virtual Power Plants

Virtual Power Plants coordinate participating household batteries as part of a larger energy network. Before joining, battery owners should understand what control the provider receives, what benefit is offered and which participation conditions apply.

GoodWe ESA Warranty

The GoodWe ESA combines battery storage and inverter technology within an integrated system. Its published warranty coverage is separated across battery, inverter and performance terms, which homeowners should understand before relying on a single “10-year warranty” claim.
