How can Voltello help me get my Cheaper Home Battery & VPP Rebates?

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.
