What Our Customers Say
Real Stories From Australian Homeowners
Great quality system We installed our solar and battery system in November last year. Installation day was great, and it was actually really interesting to see how Resinc used their computer system to build out how many panels we needed. The team have been really helpful since install.
Resinc has been exellent and has saved us a lot of monry weve had our system for 7 years with no issues at all our bills dropped by more than half we couldnt be happier
I'm very satisfied with the system. The installation was efficient with no dramas, and I've received all the help I need from resinc they even come out for in home follow up service which has been great very happy overall
Easy and smooth We installed a battery and solar system toward the end of last year, and everything has been working great since. The app has been easy to understand, and it's been a smooth process end to end.
Excellent Service Resinc have been outstanding from when we first enquired right through to installation and post sales visit. They have excellent customer service and provide great detail across operating our system and using the app. I have already seen savings since installing our system. Solar is an investment but you want to go with a quality installer and reliable product.
Above and beyond Our experience with Resinc has been amazing overall. We were quite hesitant at first as we wanted to make sure we were purchasing with a reputable company but Resinc has been extremely professional and supported us through every step. Our whole experience has been reassuring and we did not feel pressured at any point.
5 stars for our Sungrow battery! It runs the house straight off stored solar every night and dropped our power bills immediately. Clean look, super quiet, and total peace of mind-best upgrade we've made

My experience with Resinc has been wonderful. The installation process was seamless and the team did a great job of fitting our battery. They helped us select a suitable location for the battery and made sure we understood how to use the app so that we could use the system to its maximum potential.
The post-installation service has been excellent. Plenty of friendly staff making sure that the system is working to it's maximum potential, and picking up on even the slightest anomalies in our power usage.
I would highly recommend their services if you are looking for a solar battery.
Bills have remained low!
Customer service and follow up from Resinc has been consistent and a standout. The bills have remained so low that I forgot the solar exists. Even in winter, our results have been great. The installer we had was amazing, very neat and done well.
I love the battery and the fact that I can store power and the ability to use the power the sun generates, which in turn also makes me more power aware by default. We love it. I also want to add that the finance option was great, so we didn't have to look at it ourselves.
Easy decision to make
We installed an Anker battery a month ago and the whole process was smooth. The data and explanations were there. It was an easy decision to make. You can get cheaper batteries out there but the difference in quality and service speaks for itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the rebate reduce my system cost by?
Around 30% of the upfront cost, delivered through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) applied directly to your system price.
Is the rebate a cheque I receive later?
No, it’s applied upfront as a discount on your system cost, not a reimbursement you claim afterward.
Am I eligible if I already have solar panels?
Yes, the program covers both new systems and battery additions to an existing solar system.
Does the rebate amount change over time?
Yes. It’s tiered by battery size and reduces every 6 months until 2030, so installing sooner locks in a larger rebate.
