Websites for Perth solar and battery businesses that answer what WA buyers now ask before they sign: whether the state battery rebate applies on top of the federal discount and what the VPP commitment means for them, whether to keep a new system online or accept a 1.5 kW export limit, and whether your business is actually an approved vendor for the scheme.
Most Perth enquiries now involve a battery, and most of them arrive with a question about the WA Residential Battery Scheme. A couple in Ellenbrook want to know if they qualify. A retiree in Duncraig with panels from years ago wants to add storage and isn't sure what that changes. A family in Baldivis has read about remote switch-off and wants to know what it means for them. A site that answers those questions accurately, and says plainly where your business fits in the scheme, saves a lot of phone calls.
Only vendors accredited through Plenti, the scheme's administrator, can offer the WA battery rebate, and Plenti's vendor directory lists those that are fully accredited and is updated daily. Retailers need a WA business address with a physical presence such as an office or showroom, and must be Approved Sellers under the New Energy Tech Consumer Code; installers need Solar Accreditation Australia's Grid Connected Battery System accreditation. If you're on the directory, the site says so and links to it. If you aren't yet, the battery page says that too.
To get the state rebate, a household has to commit to a virtual power plant product offered by its retailer, and the battery must be new, VPP-capable and on Synergy's Supported Solutions List. Synergy names its Battery Rewards program and says more VPP options will follow. A buyer who learns about the VPP commitment at the kitchen table may feel caught out, so a short section on what joining involves, with a link to Synergy's own page, belongs near the top of the battery page.
New and upgraded systems on Perth's grid now take one of two paths. Either the system stays connected to the internet, can be remotely disconnected and reconnected in an emergency, and can join flexible export or VPP products; or it skips ongoing connectivity and is held to a fixed 1.5 kW export limit, with the household's own use unaffected. A plain comparison of the two, naming the inverters and gateways you fit, answers the question most buyers ask about the new rules.
Energy Policy WA says upgrades to existing systems are captured by the new requirements, while systems installed or upgraded before 1 May 2026 aren't affected. That's worth a page of its own for the many Perth households with panels already on the roof: what you check on the existing inverter, whether a gateway is needed, and what the upgrade means for their export arrangement.
Synergy's Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme page lists 10 cents per kWh for exports between 3 pm and 9 pm and 2 cents at other times, on the first 50 kWh exported each day. Synergy also says new and upgraded systems of 5 kW or less on DEBS must be able to be remotely turned off in an Emergency Solar Management event. A battery page built around shifting solar into that evening window should show the rates with the date they were checked and a link to Synergy's page.
Alongside the rebate, the scheme offers no-interest loans of up to $10,000, repaid over up to 10 years, for households with an income under $210,000. Plenti, the scheme's administrator, contacts households who apply for a loan. If you take loan customers, say so and set out what the household needs to have ready; if you don't, leave it off.
The government's industry page warns that supplying batteries or gateways that aren't on Synergy's Supported Solutions List can leave customers unable to get the rebate, and that vendors who repeatedly do so may lose their Approved Vendor status. Its consumer page tells households that reputable suppliers will requote an eligible system or refund them if a quoted battery or inverter isn't approved. So we keep rebate wording close to the government's own, link to it, and avoid any line that implies access you can't deliver.
Wiring and connecting solar and batteries is electrical contracting in WA, licensed by the Electrical Licensing Board, and your EC number has to be conspicuous in advertising, a website included. Our Perth electricians page covers Building and Energy's guideline on that, and our solar installers page explains SAA accreditation and the federal battery discount. What makes Perth different is the grid. Homes across the metropolitan area are on the South West Interconnected System, running on Western Power's network, which reaches north to Kalbarri, east to Kalgoorlie and south to Albany. Households using 50 MWh a year or less are non-contestable customers, so their retailer is Synergy. That's why Synergy's platform, its Supported Solutions List and its commissioning process come up in almost every residential job, and why a Perth solar site can explain one set of rules rather than several.
Those rules changed on 1 May 2026. New or upgraded systems up to 30 kVA, which covers most homes, must use inverters set to Australian Region B under AS/NZS 4777.2, be capable of remote disconnection and reconnection, and pass capability testing at installation, unless the customer takes the fixed 1.5 kW export limit instead. The retailer nominates the technical solution, and Synergy uses the CSIP-AUS communications standard. If a connected system loses its internet link it drops to a lower static export limit until the link returns, without penalty, and Energy Policy WA notes that keeping the equipment connected is the customer's job, and a common fix is reconnecting it to the home Wi-Fi router. A short help page for customers who have changed their modem or internet provider will save calls. Inverters replaced under warranty with a similar or exact model are exempt, and installers still lodge connection applications with Western Power. This builds on Emergency Solar Management, which has applied to new and upgraded systems of 5 kVA or less since 14 February 2022 and which Western Power expected to be used only a few times a year for a few hours.
The WA Residential Battery Scheme also shapes how a Perth installer should present itself. The number of rebates rose from 20,000 to 100,000 once the federal program began. Synergy-area retailers must register with Synergy under its Installation Handbook, installations face safety compliance audits after the rebate and loan funds are paid, and fitting a battery or gateway that isn't on the Supported Solutions List can leave the customer ineligible, with repeat cases putting Approved Vendor status at risk. The federal discount has changed too: the Clean Energy Regulator's certificate factor fell on 1 May 2026, is applied at a lower rate above 14 kWh, and steps down at set points out to 2030. Both programs move, so we date each figure on the page and link to the government's pages rather than printing a combined total.
Perth's metropolitan region takes in 30 local government areas, from Wanneroo and Joondalup in the north to Rockingham and Kwinana in the south, with Kalamunda and Mundaring in the hills. A service-area section that lists where you install, and separately where you'll go for servicing or warranty calls, helps buyers from the outer growth suburbs. If you also take jobs in regional towns supplied by Horizon Power, those customers have a different retailer, different technical requirements and a higher maximum battery rebate, up to $3,800, so they need their own section rather than a footnote.
We're a web design team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide, working with WA businesses by phone and email. We haven't built a site for a solar or battery company, or for any WA business yet, and our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD. The pages described here are assembled from parts we've already built for other clients: multi-step quote forms, file uploads, service-area pages, FAQs and tap-to-call.
There's no solar business in our portfolio yet. These three sites show the pieces a Perth solar site would reuse: a staged quote form with service-area and guide pages, a quote form that takes file uploads, and an intake form that sorts enquiries before anyone picks up the phone.
An Adelaide builder whose 30-page site has seven service pages, seven service-area pages, five planning guides and a seven-step quote form. On a solar site, the guides would become the battery scheme, connection choices and DEBS pages, and the quote form would ask about the retailer, existing system and internet connection one step at a time.

A Sydney professional services firm with six service pages, FAQs and a five-step intake form, with priced packages linked to online booking. A solar version could use the same intake steps to separate new systems, battery add-ons and servicing calls, and link to a booking tool you already use for site assessments.

For an electrician who adds solar and batteries to general work: what you install, your EC number and SAA accreditation, the suburbs you cover, and a quote form asking about the retailer, existing system and internet connection.
Fits most Perth battery installers
$899
A home page, a battery page covering the WA rebate, the VPP commitment and the no-interest loan, and a page on the two connection choices and upgrades to older systems.
$1,499
Separate pages for new systems, batteries and the WA scheme, connection choices, battery add-ons for older panels, DEBS and evening exports, servicing, Horizon Power customers and an about page naming your installers.
Only to say where you stand. You can explain that the rebate is available through accredited vendors listed on Plenti's vendor directory (opens in a new tab) and that you're applying or not participating, but nothing that suggests you can apply the discount. When your accreditation comes through, updating the page is a text change covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
Present it as a choice, the way Energy Policy WA does. A connected system can join flexible export or VPP products and must accept remote disconnection in an emergency; a system without ongoing internet is limited to exporting 1.5 kW, and the household's own use of its solar isn't affected. Say which option you'd suggest for which kind of home, and link to the government's consumer page (opens in a new tab).
Yes, with the date you checked them and a link to Synergy. The rates apply only to the first 50 kWh exported each day and can change, so a page that projects export income can date quickly. We'd describe the evening rate as the reason a battery suits many Perth homes, not as a promised saving.
If you do it often, yes. Horizon Power customers need a battery on Horizon Power's own approved list and a Horizon Power VPP product rather than Synergy's, and the state scheme lists a higher maximum rebate for them. Mixing both into one battery page tends to confuse buyers in Perth and regional towns alike, so a separate page or section keeps each set of rules clear.
By phone and email, as with all our clients outside Adelaide. You send your EC number, SAA accreditation, scheme status, the products you fit, the suburbs you cover and photos of finished installs, and we build the draft. You ask for as many changes as you like and pay only once you approve it, so you can judge the work before spending anything. Perth's working day overlaps most of ours, and we reply within 24 hours.
Send us your EC number, your installers' SAA accreditation, whether you're an approved vendor under the WA battery scheme, the inverters and batteries you fit and the suburbs you cover. We'll quote first and build the draft before you pay anything.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
