Federal Battery Rebate 2025: Expand Storage & Save Big
“We are seeing more and more businesses Australia-wide looking for ways to add renewable energy solutions, including battery power, to their operations. In the past 12 months, commercial enquiries for Natural Solar increased by more grants for solar battery storage than 1000%. We are only expecting this to grow as the battery storage revolution continues to take hold,” says Mr Williams. Tesla Powerwall is a battery primarily designed to store power generated from solar panels.
If you don’t already have a PV system, you’ll need to install one at the same time as your battery to qualify. For example, if a household installs a typical 11.5 kWh system, the combined support would be almost $5,000. If the household installs a larger 27 kWh battery, which costs just over $30,000 without support, it will receive a discount of around $10,000 from the Commonwealth program. If it then connects the battery to a Virtual Power Plant, it will receive an upfront payment of almost $1,500 from the NSW scheme.
As long as the installation meets the criteria, you’re eligible for up to a 30% discount. This aligns with the program’s goal of maximising renewable energy storage and reducing reliance on the grid. At this stage, there’s no clear prohibition on replacing an old battery with a new one. What matters is whether the system meets all eligibility criteria and the property has not yet received the federal rebate.
This program offered grants of up to $5,000 to install an inverter and battery with a new solar system or to add a battery and inverter to an existing system. As well as participating in the federal battery scheme, Tasmanians can receive interest-free loans to help with their battery system purchase. In addition to the battery incentives, the solar panel rebate is also available in NSW. If your battery was installed on or after 6 April 2025, you may still be eligible as long as your battery has not been ‘switched on’ and it meets all the other criteria.
338,368 households in England, Scotland, and Wales have benefited from the VAT discount since it came into force in April 2022, according to government data. With the introduction of the 0% VAT rate, the average three-bedroom household can save around £515 when buying a new 4.5kWp solar & battery system, or £2,060 for those who would've previously paid 20% VAT. The solar VAT discount is part of the government's move in 2022 to change the VAT rate for a host of energy-saving materials to 0% in England, Scotland, and Wales. If you have a Barclays mortgage, there are no time limits on when you can apply for the bank's Greener Home Reward programme. Members got a solar panel loan to afford their panels, according to a recent survey by the company.
In the same time frame, 450,531 solar panel systems have been installed in the UK, which means a massive 92% of new solar homes have chosen to get an export tariff. Make sure you use a reputable installer like the ones included in our list of the best solar panel installers, as your system must be certified to be eligible for SEG payments. As of September 2024, suppliers have implemented 537,506 measures under the scheme, including more than 29,000 solar panel system installations. You may qualify for free solar panels if you're eligible for one of the UK’s four main grants.

A battery can be installed with a new solar panel system, added to an existing solar panel system, or installed without any solar generation. Being the sales manager of Perth’s largest solar battery installation company (as confirmed by the SunWiz 2025 Awards), I have been heavily involved in the solar battery sector for the past 5 years. During this time, I have witnessed some truly shocking scenarios, from poorly installed battery systems to customers being misled with unrealistic promises. The battery rebate for Alice Springs supports local solar and battery businesses, creating jobs and driving the Northern Territory’s transition to cleaner energy sources. The scheme is designed for homeowners and businesses who want to reduce their electricity needs by using renewable energy systems.
Interest-free loans of up to $10,000 are also available to eligible households. This rebate has already driven an uptake in demand for battery installations across the solar industry. By relieving pressure on the grid and supporting the growth of Virtual Power Plants, the entire community reaps the rewards through lower wholesale electricity prices, fewer blackouts, and deferred infrastructure costs.
Solar panel rebates plus the option of an interest-free loan are available for eligible rental properties. He grants were available to owners of eligible buildings and facilities in the Bega Valley Shire Council area and the southern part of the Eurobodalla Shire Council area. Owners of buildings and facilities used by community groups in the Bega Valley and parts of the Eurobodalla Shire Council areas were able to apply for the grants. This means an expected 90% reduction of a typical family energy bill for households that now adopt solar.
A further 2,503 arrays have been put on social homes during wave two – which is ongoing – for a total of 5,641 solar installations so far, as of September 2024. Applicants must also show they intend to hire installers that have been approved by Trustmark, the only government-endorsed quality scheme in the UK for works in and around your home. It makes sense to look at all your options when you're trying to avoid the steep upfront cost of going solar – and fortunately, with Sunsave Plus, there's a better way.
Premier Roger Cook announced the $387 million Residential Battery Scheme during WA Labor’s official campaign launch. The scheme offers one-off rebates of up to $5,000 for Synergy customers and up to $7,500 for Horizon Power customers. The rebate amount will depend on the battery’s capacity, encouraging households to invest in systems that meet their energy needs.
