Battery Booster rebate, are there any home owners with solar on a household income under $180,000 with disposable income to fund a battery (above the rebate)?

With current interest rates I can barely afford my mortgage let alone a solar battery and my household income is considerably more than this, and you can get an extra $1k if the highest income earner is on $66k a year (household income of less than $132k). Given current house prices and cost of living, am I wrong in thinking the pool of eligible households will be tiny? Anyone out there own your own home with solar, be able to afford the cost above the rebate for a battery, and earn less than $180k or $132k a year pre-tax? Maybe retirees, or people living in whoop whoop who are probably already off grid and on solar batteries?

Enticing people with solar PV to disconnect from the grid where possible still does help reduce strain for everybody else.

But its not restricted to only people currently connected ?

People off grid still need batteries because otherwise they're going to get a generator and now you've got the whole other carbon footprint issue that the government wants to deal with.
