About

Dusk Reserve is an independent information site about home batteries and rooftop solar in Australia. It explains how the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program and the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme turn into a discount on your quote, which state and territory incentives exist, how to size a battery to your evening use, how to work out payback, and what the Australian Consumer Law says about warranties and sales practices.

The site is written for householders who are getting quotes, comparing offers or dealing with a problem after installation. Every guide names the official source behind each rule, such as the Clean Energy Regulator, state energy departments and fair trading agencies, and the date we checked it. Prices, STC values, tariffs and savings in examples and calculators are illustrative assumptions so you can see the method; they are not quotes or market data.

We do not sell batteries, rank brands or installers, or take referral fees from installers. The site does not cover choosing an electricity plan in detail or heating and hot water upgrades. Nothing here is financial, legal or electrical advice; an accredited installer must assess your site, and your state fair trading agency can advise on disputes.
