Ha. Two days ago, NSW annouced $15k for green energy upgrades: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-17/nsw-government-interest-free-renewable-energy-loans-subsidies/106805702
Details here: https://www.energy.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2026-06/NSW_Home_Energy_Saver_Loans_guidelines.pdf
Edit: this *beats* the ACT's offering as it's no interest vs 3%. Although the ACT is still bumping the amount up to $20k from July.
This does actually matter, because it means I'll be able to do solar + battery this year no matter what happens jobwise. And I'll be better off in the long run with immediate savings on energy costs.
