Brighte Full eligibility criteria and the application process are at brighte.com.au/nsw^*

What the loan can pay for

The NSW Government’s Home Energy Saver loan program covers a set list of approved energy saving upgrades. These are the ones Clean Power Australia installs:

Rooftop solar
A new system, or an expansion of an existing one.
A home battery
The program requires a battery on the Clean Energy Council approved list, installed at a home that has or is getting solar.
A Level 2 electric vehicle charger
Installed by a licensed electrician.
A switchboard upgrade
Where one is needed to safely support the solar, battery or charger.

Who may be eligible

You may be eligible for a Home Energy Saver loan if:

the home is in New South Wales
you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident
your combined taxable household income is up to $210,000 a year
you own the property, as an owner-occupier or a landlord
the upgrade is on the approved list and meets the program’s product requirements

Using the loan with the federal battery rebate

The federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount comes off the battery price first, applied on our quote. The Home Energy Saver loan can then cover the remaining amount, up to $15,000.

Our quote shows each of these as a separate line, so you can see exactly what you are borrowing.

What it costs you upfront

No upfront cost on finance. Deposit may apply.^‡

The loan has no establishment fee and no account-keeping fees, and the loan amount is paid to us after installation. Depending on your system, we may ask for a deposit on the equipment before the installation date.

How it works with Clean Power Australia

We quote your system

An itemised quote showing the product, the installation, the federal battery rebate, and the amount left for the loan. Under the program’s rules, other government incentives are applied before the loan.
You apply with Brighte

We send you a referral link from Brighte with your quote details already filled in. You confirm your eligibility, provide proof of ownership and income, and complete Brighte’s assessment. Brighte tells you the outcome.
We install

Once you have accepted your loan agreement with Brighte and your installation agreement with us, our local SAA accredited installers fit the system, test it, and show you how it works.
Brighte settles and repayments begin

Brighte confirms with you that the installation is complete and working, pays us on your behalf, and your repayments start under your loan agreement.

Questions about the Home Energy Saver loan

Is it a grant or a loan?

A loan. You repay the amount you borrow, with no interest and no fees on the loan, over a term of up to 10 years. The NSW Government funds the loan and Brighte delivers it.

Can I use it with the federal battery rebate?

Yes. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount is applied to your quote first, and the loan can cover the remaining cost of the eligible upgrade, up to $15,000.

Is there a discount as well as the loan?

The NSW Government has said a Home Energy Saver discount of up to $4,000 will open later for households with an income of up to $80,000 a year, or with an eligible concession card. If you may qualify, the NSW Government recommends applying for the discount first and using the loan for the balance. You can sign up for updates at energy.nsw.gov.au/home-energy-saver.

Which batteries qualify?

Batteries on the Clean Energy Council approved list with more than 5 kWh of usable capacity, a warranty of at least 10 years, installed by an SAA accredited installer at a property with solar. The Sigenergy and Hinen systems we install meet these requirements.

I am a landlord. Can I use the loan for a rental property?

Yes, landlords are eligible. You will need to confirm that your tenant has consented to the upgrade.

How long does Brighte take?

Brighte assesses each application, including responsible lending requirements, and tells you the outcome. We cannot speed that up and we do not know the result in advance.

Do I need a home energy rating?

No. A NatHERS home assessment and certificate is optional as part of the loan application process.

Can I get a loan for solar only, without a battery?

Yes. Rooftop solar is an approved upgrade in its own right.

Does the loan cover the switchboard?

Where a switchboard upgrade is needed to safely support your solar, battery or EV charger, it is an approved upgrade and can be included.

About this program

Home Energy Saver loans are funded by the NSW Government and delivered by Brighte.

We are a NETCC Approved Seller and every installation is carried out by SAA accredited installers.

The program also covers upgrades we do not install, such as heat pump hot water, reverse-cycle air conditioning and insulation. The full list is on the NSW Government’s Home Energy Saver page at energy.nsw.gov.au/home-energy-saver.

The loan applies to the upgrade and its installation only. If your home needs other work first, we quote it separately so it is clear what the loan covers.

The loan is not available if the property has already received $15,000 of upgrades under the program, or if it is social or community housing, or used for short-stay rental accommodation. Strata owners need consent from their owners corporation, and landlords need to confirm their tenant has consented to the upgrade.

Check Brighte’s website for full eligibility criteria: brighte.com.au/nsw

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clean Power has got us up and running with a great new battery system that is working perfectly - I can’t see that we’ll need to buy electricity again any time soon! Olivia, in particular, did a great job as our consultant, warmly fielding all our questions and getting back to us super quickly with extra information and specialist advice when it was needed. Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really happy with the whole experience from start to finish. Caitlin was fantastic to deal with throughout the process. She took the time to answer all my questions, explained the different options clearly and never made me feel pressured into making a decision. The installation of the Sigenergy battery and additional solar was also handled professionally. The installers did a great job, were tidy, knowledgeable and took the time to make sure everything was set up and working properly. A big thanks to Caitlin and the installation team for making the whole process easy. Very happy with the system and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking at solar or battery storage.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve just had a solar system installed by Clean Power Australia. We did a lot of research and asked a lot of questions, and Caitlin was fantastic throughout. She was very responsive, professional and never pushy, and she answered every question promptly and clearly. We compared several providers, and it was Caitlin’s professionalism that got Clean Power Australia across the line for us. We’d happily recommend both her and the team.We’re confident the aftercare will be just as good

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had cause to contact Clean Power regarding my solar installation and was referred to Renae Marskell. Renae was extremely helpful and clearly demonstrated a high level of subject-matter knowledge. Her professionalism and strong drive to secure a satisfactory outcome for me - as a customer - was very much appreciated. It reflects very well on Clean Power as a company. I don't know your staffing structure, however if at all possible, I would consider making her a team leader, as (even from my limited exposure to her) I am confident that she would inspire her team to a similar high standard of customer service

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We made the move towards solar with Clean Power Energy, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Teegan was fantastic. She took the time to explain our options clearly, answered all our questions, and guided us through the entire process without ever making it feel complicated or overwhelming.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clean Power are an Australian owned company who employ their own techs. No outsourcing. Dan is awesome. Over the years of the battery upgrades and interest free loans - I have had 2 batteries installed and upgraded my solar panels 3 time's, Dan has always been there to guide me through the processes. No hard sales just easy access to him with questions he always answered honestly. Thoroughly recommend Clean Power Australia. Will only use Clean Power.   cannot fault the company. The techs are great too. Polite, delightful lads who cleaned up properly.
