Cheaper Home Batteries Program
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program's discounts can be applied to battery installations that meet the
eligibility criteria.
Installation of
compatible batteries with the Voltello LinkPro meet the VPP-ready requirement.
You do not need to actually join a VPP to be eligible for this rebate!
Other VPP rebates, such as VPP1, BESS2, and Synergy VPP rebates, are in addition to the 'Cheaper Home Batteries' rebate.
Typically, the installer handles all the rebate paperwork on the customer's behalf and applies the discount to the purchase price.
VPP1 and BESS2 Rebates
Eligibility through Localvolts Partnership
Village Energy has partnered with Localvolts for customers who want to join a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and become eligible for
VPP1 and BESS2 rebates.
Localvolts customers can also automate their battery and/or inverter set up with Village Energy's
Localvolts automation plans which respond to energy demand, prices, and site usage.
Eligibility through Synergy's VPP Program
Batteries installed with the Voltello LinkPro are eligible for the rebate.
Typically, the installer handles all the rebate paperwork on the customer's behalf and applies the discount to the purchase price.
Amber Electric Customer Eligibility
After the customer's property has been transferred to Amber, customers can automate their household solar and/or battery setup with Amber's Dynamic prices by using our
Amber automation Plans.
Currently, VPP1 and BESS2 rebates cannot be availed via Voltello with Amber. We are working to enable these rebates!
Plus, all the Voltello features!
As well as price automations and rebate eligibility, Voltello customers gain more control over their household devices with even more controls, like
- Automate Air conditioners against your dynamic energy prices, or based on whether your site is producing excess solar,
- Manually control or schedule your inverters' production and limit site exports,
- Schedule battery charge and discharge periods in conjunction with your price-based automation
- ...and more!
