Prices start from the figures above, fully installed net payable after the federal STC rebate and including GST for metro areas (regional areas subject to freight and travel costs; T&Cs apply). Checked September 2026. STC figures use postcode 2234, 2026 deeming and an assumed $38 per certificate — the discount you receive depends on the certificate market on your installation date. Savings are modelled on typical usage and tariffs and are not a guarantee.

Grid connection

What you can export in Menai

Your distribution network — not your retailer — decides how much solar your Menai home may send back to the grid. These are its published approvals, and we tell you which one your site gets before you sign anything.

10kW per phase

Flexible export connection: a complying system up to 30kW is automatically approved to export up to 10kW per phase.

3kW

Fixed export connection: a complying system is automatically approved to export 3kW per system.

1.5kW

No reliable internet at the property: a static 1.5kW export limit applies until a connection is available.

From 30 November 2026: the NSW Emergency Backstop Mechanism

Your network is phasing this in by postcode from 30 November 2026, with full implementation by 22 February 2027. New and upgrading systems up to 200kW must use equipment compliant with the CSIP-AUS standard, and the installer runs a short capability test at installation to confirm the system can reach the network's server. Systems already installed are not affected. We build every new system to meet it.

Network rules change and every connection is approved on its own merits — we confirm the limit that applies to your address in writing before install day.

Batteries

Adding a battery in Menai

Home batteries attract two separate incentives. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program takes an estimated $3,402 off a 13.5 kWh battery, and NSW’s NSW VPP connection incentive (battery via federal program) can add more on top. Battery prices start from $4,290 fully installed after rebates (incl. GST for metro areas; regional areas subject to freight and travel costs). Already have solar? We check your inverter first — some systems take a battery as they are, others need a hybrid inverter.

≈ $3,402

Estimated federal rebate on 13.5 kWh of usable storage

+ NSW

NSW virtual power plant (VPP) incentive when you connect an eligible battery to a VPP, on top of the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount. The NSW upfront battery discount ended for installs from 1 July 2025.

Planning an EV?

Size your solar for it now. Our 10kW package comes pre-wired for a battery and an EV charger, so adding one later is a small job rather than a rebuild.

Kratos Energy’s 5 MW Solar Project in South Australia

Kratos Energy’s 5 MW solar project in South Australia showcases renewable energy infrastructure at scale. Featuring ground-mounted solar arrays and dedicated electrical infrastructure, the project forms part of our commitment to developing large-scale solar opportunities across Australia. The project photographs offer a closer look at the installation—from rows of solar panels to the supporting structures, cabling and electrical equipment behind the system. Project at a Glance Project detail Overview Location South Australia Capacity 5 MW Project category Large-scale solar Installation type Ground-mounted solar photovoltaic system Featured infrastructure Solar arrays, mounting structures, electrical equipment and control panels A Closer Look at the Solar Installation The site features rows of elevated solar panels arranged across open land, with access routes between sections of the installation. Ground-mounted systems allow the array layout to be planned around the site’s terrain, available space and maintenance requirements. The photographs also show the underside of the arrays, including structural supports and cable routing. These less-visible components are an essential part of a solar installation, alongside the panels themselves. Dedicated electrical enclosures and control equipment highlight the infrastructure required to support a project of this scale. Together, the images provide a practical view of the engineering involved in a large-scale solar site. Large-Scale Solar Expertise A solar farm requires coordination across site assessment, engineering, equipment selection, construction and network requirements. Kratos Energy’s large-scale solar services cover solar farm development, engineering and construction support, grid connection coordination, and operational support. We work with landowners, investors and commercial partners to assess opportunities and progress renewable energy projects.
