Power Your Home or Business with the Latest Battery Rebate
Are you looking to reduce your electricity bills and boost your energy independence? Thanks to the new Federal Government battery rebate, investing in a solar battery for homes or a solar battery for small businesses has never been more affordable.
What is the New Federal Government Battery Rebate?
The Australian Government recently announced its “Battery Rebate” program to help households and small businesses lower their energy costs while supporting the nation’s renewable energy transition. Under this initiative, eligible homeowners and small businesses can receive financial incentives to install approved solar battery systems.
This rebate is part of the Government’s broader plan to make energy cheaper and more reliable. By encouraging battery adoption, the Government aims to ease pressure on the grid during peak times and promote greater use of clean energy.
How Much Can You Save?
According to the Government, the average home could save significantly by installing a battery. Here’s a breakdown of the potential savings:
Average Battery Cost: $9,000 – $15,000 (depending on capacity and brand)
Rebate Value: Up to $18,500 per installation
Annual Bill Savings: Between $500 and $2,000 per year
Example Savings for a Typical Household
| Household Solar System Size | Battery Size | Approx. Rebate | Estimated Annual Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.6 kW | 10 kWh | $3,500 | $1,200 |
| 10 kW | 13.5 kWh | $4,000 | $1,800 |
Long-term savings: Over 10 years, many homes could save between $10,000 and $20,000 on their electricity bills.
Example Savings for Small Businesses
