Federal Government Solar Battery Rebate Explained 2025

Those suppliers with over 150,000 customers are obligated to offer Government grant for solar battery a tariff, while those with fewer can partake voluntarily. By pressing “Get Quotes Now”, you agree that GreenMatch and up to 4 installers may contact you via email, telephone and/or SMS with details regarding your request and to confirm your information. This incentive ended on  30 June 2025 and has been replaced by the federal rebate program.
We’re setting our state up for the future – with better hospitals, cheaper electricity, more housing, and an affordable world-class public transport system in METRONET. With over 8 years in the business, we are Australia’s one of the leading solar retailers committed to helping make the world a greener place. The Greens and their zeal to make Australia sustainable have made them think ahead  of the game. They have made sure to create opportunities equally for Australians and energy providers. The strain due to recent blackouts in Australia has made the Greens election 2022 a little juicy. With the controversies and rise of electricity, the AEMO or The Australian Energy Market Operator had to set limits to $300 per megawatt-hour cap on the prices.

The WA portion of the rebate is capped at 10 kWh, but the Federal rebate continues to scale with battery size. Annual savings for a 13.5 kWh battery system will typically range between $700 – $1,500, with additional savings possible when part of a VPP. But overall, Mr Grimes was bullish about the impact the battery policy would have.
If you want to include Labor’s promised 30% discount, factor that into your preferred system’s cost as you make your calculations. Labor claims the scheme could net savings of roughly $4,000 for a “typical” 11.5 kWh battery. This is needed to confirm your enquiry and to connect you with the right installers. Thanks to the Smart Export Guarantee, you can make money by giving back to the grid. The yearly return on investment will be about £1,274 to £1,530, depending on the size of your home and solar panel system.

As well as the UK, governments around the world have introduced grants to make it easier to install solar panels. The granted offers range up to $10,000 and the solar battery loans up to $50,000. The Greens Election 2024 has shown some positive impact and hope for the Australian homeowners.

Do you want to know more about why the Cost of Solar Panels and a Battery in the UK is critical this year? If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to smash your electricity bills with a home battery, here’s what government support is available and where to help some Australians on their way. Michael caught the solar power bug after purchasing components to cobble together a small off-grid PV system in 2008. He's been reporting on Australian and international solar energy news ever since. The growth in renewables and electrification will continue to drive demand for batteries. For Victoria to get the most out of our increasing distributed energy resources, such as rooftop solar, more support is being targeted via the Neighbourhood Battery Initiative (NBI).
You may also be eligible  for other battery programs in your state or territory when participating in our program. You must check your eligibility for claiming both as some programs may not be eligible if you're claiming STCs under the SRES. Stackable battery systems are modules of battery cells that can be ‘stacked’ together without external wiring. These modules are normally topped with an inverter, control unit or other component that helps the stack work  as a single unit. Installers could begin installation work before this date, provided the system was not electronically connected, tested and certified.

Starting April 2022, homes in the UK can now benefit from zero VAT on the materials and installation of energy-efficient measures. To help households reduce energy bills and increase energy efficiency, the UK government announced a reduction of the current 5% VAT relief on energy-saving measures (e.g. solar panels, heat pumps) to 0%. It was also intended for the federal government rebate to be “stackable”, meaning other battery rebates or incentives from states and territories, where available, could be claimed. But after potential complications became apparent, eligibility for other support will depend on criteria that applies in those schemes. As an example, the New South Wales Government has been seeking advice on fixing NSW’s battery rebate to make it compatible with the national scheme.
Feed-in tariffs are designed to pay you for excess electricity generated and fed into the main grid by your small-scale renewable energy system. By connecting your solar battery to a virtual power plant, you may also be able to sell stored electricity to the grid. The round 2 South Australian Small Business Energy Efficiency Grant was launched on the 27th of August as part of the $154 million Economic Recovery Fund (ERF) by the Malinauskas SA Government.

It helps avoid high time-of-use tariffs and brings predictability to monthly energy expenses. If you’re running a small commercial business in Australia, you’ve likely felt the growing impact of energy costs on your margins. Electricity bills have risen significantly over the past two years, and many small businesses are now actively seeking ways to reduce their reliance on the grid and regain control over operational expenses. Abundant supply of solar power during the day has already lowered prices at off-peak times. More households with batteries will lower demand in the evening and therefore reduce prices at peak times, while lessening the need for grid upgrades. Consumers will earn a tradeable certificate for installing a battery, just as they do with solar panels.
This investment is expected to generate employment opportunities and position Western Australia as a leader in renewable energy technology. The Feed-in Tariff scheme was fantastic, and it came in at a time when the UK’s residential solar industry needed some serious encouragement. Solar power is one of the most reliable and cost-effective ways for South Australian businesses to reduce long-term overheads.
