A growth wave reminiscent of the rooftop solar boom is here. Store excess solar energy for evenings and dodge rising energy costs now with federal clean energy incentives. The Federal Government’s $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program is making battery storage accessible, reducing the upfront cost by around 30%.
To qualify for the rebate, your battery must have a capacity between 5 kWh and 100 kWh, with the incentive applying only to the first 50 kWh of usable storage. The system must be paired with either new or existing rooftop solar. We use batteries listed on the Clean Energy Council’s approved products register, and are installed by A-grade professionals. Contact us to learn more about the products, your eligibility and the rebate amount.
We scope your home’s solar setup, storage needs, and rebate eligibility, running load profiles and shading checks to maximise ROI.
Your battery is wired into the existing PV system, adhering to certified safety protocols, firmware updates, and grid-compliant commissioning.
We run performance diagnostics, provide a usage masterclass, and lodge all loan/rebate paperwork so you pocket every dollar you’re owed.
A good-quality 10kW solar battery can last anywhere between 10 to 15 years, depending on the brand, usage, and how well it’s maintained. In terms of daily usage, most 10kW batteries can keep an average Australian home running through the night, storing enough power from your panels during the day to cover evening appliances, lighting, and even heating or cooling.
In 2025, Victorian households can get up to $4,174 off the upfront cost of an eligible solar battery under the Solar Homes Program. This rebate makes the technology affordable and helps you save on electricity bills.
Yes, with the current rebates in play solar battery in Victoria allows you to store excess energy from your panels and use it later, rather than sending it back to the grid for a minimal feed-in tariff. That means more self-sufficiency, protection against blackouts, and savings over time.
A 13.5kW solar battery such as the Tesla Powerwall typically costs between $13,000 and $16,000 installed, before rebates. With Victoria’s rebate, the cost can drop significantly, making it a more viable option for larger households or those with high energy usage.
