Unlock Big Savings with Government Solar and Battery Rebates

Reduce the upfront cost of your solar system in NSW and SE QLD

Record numbers of households across NSW and SE QLD are switching to solar for lower bills and greener living. Installing household solar panels — and pairing them with a home battery — helps you store energy for cloudy days, reduce your energy bills, and increase your self-sufficiency. Plus, a solar system can boost your home’s resale value.

The federal solar rebate helps reduce the upfront cost of installing your solar system. There’s also a new federal battery rebate, making it more affordable to add a home battery and store your energy for use when you need it most.

Current Government Solar Rebates – Save Thousands on Solar Panels & Home Batteries

The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) provides upfront savings on solar panel installations, but these rebates reduce each year. Acting now lets you lock in the best rates and maximise your savings.

For example:

  • A 10 kW solar system can receive approximately $2,900 in rebates in 2025.

  • Starting January 1, 2026, the same 10 kW system will qualify for only $2,500, a $400 reduction from the 2025 rebate.

  • The new federal battery rebate can provide up to 30%* off the cost of eligible home battery systems.

  • Both rebates decrease gradually each year, so early adoption saves more.

Take advantage of these government incentives now to reduce the upfront cost of your solar system and start saving on energy bills sooner.

State-Based Solar & Battery Incentives

In addition to the federal solar and battery rebates, several state governments offer targeted incentives designed to encourage solar and battery adoption across different property types and use cases. These programs can help reduce upfront costs, improve return on investment, and make renewable energy more accessible for homeowners, landlords and tenants alike.

Queensland – Supercharged Solar for Renters (Landlord Rebate)

Queensland’s Supercharged Solar for Renters program supports landlords by providing a state rebate for installing solar on eligible rental properties. The initiative aims to increase solar uptake in the rental market, helping tenants benefit from lower electricity bills while improving the long-term value and efficiency of investment properties.

New South Wales – Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Incentive

In New South Wales, households with a home battery can access a state incentive by connecting their system to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This program rewards battery owners for sharing stored energy during peak demand periods, helping strengthen the electricity grid while improving the financial performance of battery storage systems.
