Check current details at the time of the quote
Any program treatment or eligibility should be confirmed against current official information and shown clearly in the written quote. Old examples—and old website articles—may not reflect the current position.
Keep the battery purpose in view
Start with why storage is being considered: evening use, selected backup, greater use of solar or a wider home energy plan. That purpose helps frame size, location and whether a program path even applies.
- Recent bills and evening usage
- Existing solar and inverter details
- Selected backup expectations
- Switchboard and suitable battery location
- Questions about VPP participation
Read the whole scope
Look beyond a single program line item. Battery capacity, electrical work, monitoring, backup scope and household priorities belong in the same conversation as any incentive treatment.
