What is the QLD Battery Rebate?
The Australian federal governments solar battery rebate, the “Cheaper Home Batteries Program” has officially been confirmed to begin on July 1, 2025.
It offers an upfront discount of around 30%. We expect this to work out to be around $335 per usable kilowatt-hour based on a $36 Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) value after accounting for transaction and administration costs of selling the certificates. The rebate will decline annually until the scheme ends in 2030.
Federal Battery Rebate Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, battery systems must meet specific technical, installation, and property criteria. These rules have now been outlined by the Australian Government ahead of the program launch on 1 July 2025.
Who Is Eligible?
The federal battery rebate is available to:
-
Homeowners (including landlords and owner-occupiers)
-
Small businesses
-
Community facilities (e.g. sports clubs, libraries, community centres)
There is no means test, and rebates are available per property. Owners of multiple eligible properties may apply for a separate rebate at each location, as long as each has its own electricity meter (NMI).
Battery System Requirements
To be eligible, your battery system must:
-
Have a nominal capacity between 5–100 kWh
-
Receive a rebate on up to 50 kWh of usable capacity
-
Be new (not second-hand or refurbished)
-
Be installed on-grid or off-grid
-
Off-grid systems must be at least 1 km from a main grid line or possibly face a grid connection cost of $30,000+
-
-
Be Virtual Power Plant (VPP) capable (on-grid systems only)
-
Be connected to new or existing rooftop solar
-
Include a battery and inverter listed on the Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved product list
Additional batteries added to existing systems may qualify if:
-
The system has not previously claimed the federal rebate
-
The added capacity is at least 5 kWh and the total does not exceed 100 kWh nominal
Notes:
-
Electric vehicle batteries and EV charging systems are not eligible under this program.
-
Nominal capacity refers to the battery’s total storage. Usable capacity is the amount that can actually be discharged. The rebate is calculated on usable capacity, but systems must meet the nominal size range to qualify.
Installer & Compliance Requirements
-
Systems must be installed by an installer accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA)
-
Installation must be supervised on-site by the accredited installer
-
The install must comply with the Best Practice Guide: Battery Storage Equipment and all state/territory electrical safety regulations
-
Internet connection confirmation for VPP-capable systems (does not need to be connected to VPP)
-
The Certificate of Electrical Compliance (CoC) must be signed on or after 1 July 2025
