ACT has a powerful battery rebate, but only 3 battery sales companies are allowed to be part of it.
Do you live in the ACT and want the highest solar battery rebate in Australia? Well, you can’t have it! The only way you can get that is to move your ACT arse to SA. If you come to Adelaide be sure to bring some kangaroos with you because, unlike Canberra, we never see them hopping through the suburbs here. [Read more…]
