The End-User Equipment must have a warranty of at least 10 years and guarantee that at least seventy percent (70%) of Usable Capacity is retained 10 years from the date the End-User Equipment is installed at the site.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>5. The End-User Equipment warranty must define the normal use conditions during the operation of the End-User Equipment as not being less than:<\/em>\n<ul>\n<li><em>1. A minimum ambient temperature range of -10 \u00b0C to 50 \u00b0C<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>2. A minimum warranted throughput of 3.65 MWh per kWh of Usable Battery Capacity<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Are These Criteria Reasonable?<\/h2>\n<p>The 10-year minimum warranty is very reasonable, and the 70% usable capacity after 10 years is also reasonable\u2014but it knocks out some big players, like Sungrow, which warrants 60% after 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect many battery manufacturers will hastily re-issue warranties with 70% minimums to avoid missing out on the NSW bonanza.<\/p>\n<p>The ambient temperature range requirements knock several otherwise eligible batteries out of contention in a worst-case interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>This is due to the somewhat ambiguous &#8216;ambient temperature range&#8217; mentioned in the criteria. Some batteries, like the Energizer Homepower, state in their datasheets two ambient temperature figures &#8211; one for charge and one for discharge:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-84526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/energizer-specs.png\" alt=\"Energizer battery specs\" width=\"642\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/energizer-specs.png 642w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/energizer-specs-300x76.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The minimum warranted throughput figure of 3.65 MWh per kWh of usable capacity is also somewhat odd.<\/p>\n<p>If you take a generic 10kWh battery with a 10-year warranty, one cycle per day for 10 years equates to 36,500 kWh\u2014or 3.65 MWh per kWh. So, on the surface, this is a reasonable minimum to enforce.<\/p>\n<p>However, some major players, like Tesla and BYD, warrant a specific kWh throughput less than this requirement.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/tesla-powerwall-warranty\/\">Tesla warrants &#8216;unlimited&#8217; cycles<\/a> &#8211; which would make it eligible &#8211; but if you use it as part of a VPP, they warrant 37,800 kWh, or 2.8 MWh per kWh, making it ineligible for the rebate. It becomes a question of whether the NSW government uses &#8220;worst case&#8221; scenarios when evaluating batteries for eligibility.<\/p>\n<p>I reckon there will be industry\u2014and consumer\u2014pushback once more people realise popular batteries may not be eligible for the rebate.<\/p>\n<h2>So, Who Is Eligible?<\/h2>\n<p>I expect the NSW government to release an official eligible battery list at some point (their website references an &#8220;approved product list&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>For now, looking at the SolarQuotes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/comparison-table\/\">battery comparison table<\/a>, only these batteries appear to meet all the requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enphase IQ Battery 5P <em>(note: their warranty allows 60% capacity, but after 15 years &#8211; it is logical to assume at the 10-year mark, capacity will be above 70%)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Zenaji Aeon<\/li>\n<li>SolarEdge Energy Bank<\/li>\n<li>Sonnen<\/li>\n<li>Alpha-ESS <em>(note: they have 10-year battery warranty but short 5-year product warranty &#8211; unclear if this disqualifies them)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Soltaro AIO2<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0SolaX Triple Power<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This seems like a rather short list, arguably missing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/best-home-batteries-2024\/\">best batteries available in Australia in 2024<\/a> (i.e. Tesla, BYD, Sungrow). Here&#8217;s looking forward to some eligibility clarification from the NSW battery bureaucrats.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>NEW:<\/strong> Thinking of adding a battery to your existing solar using the NSW battery rebate but unsure what the payback will be?
