2024 Solar Battery Rebate: How Homeowners Can BenefitĀ 

Auswell Energy discusses how the 2024 solar battery rebate will affect homeowners, and how they can benefit.

Solar batteries are increasingly becoming part of Australian homeowners renewable energy systems, with the number of solar battery installations increasing by 55% from 2021 to 2022.

Thatā€™s why homeowners need to take advantage of government schemes such as the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), and now the Battery Booster rebate, which significantly lighten the cost of solar.

What Does the Solar Battery Rebate Look Like?

The rebate is available to eligible Queensland homeowners with a combined household income of less than $180,000 and who meet all eligibility criteria. There is a higher rebate amount to help low-income households even further.

Only 1 rebate is available per residential premises. Applications will be processed in the order they are lodged, and the program will close once allocated funding has been exhausted.

How Does the Solar Battery Rebate Work?

Applicants must apply for and receive a conditional approval letterĀ beforeĀ having a battery system installed under this rebate program. To be eligible for the rebate, you must:

  • be the ownerĀ of the Queensland residential property where you wish to install the systemā€”whether itā€™s a house, community lot (e.g. townhouse or retirement village home) or granny flat. The property can be mortgaged, but you need to be the registered owner
  • have a solar photovoltaic (PV) systemĀ with a minimum 5kW system capacity. If you donā€™t already have solar PV installed, you can add a new system as part of your approved battery purchase
  • use an approved batteryĀ from theĀ Approved Battery System list, which includes batteries with a capacity of 6kWh or larger
  • use an approved installerĀ registered on theĀ Approved Installer listĀ to install the system. They must be on the list when you apply for conditional approvalĀ andĀ when they complete the installation
  • obtain a quote and purchase the systemĀ on or after 12 February 2024
  • meet the income requirementā€”that is, have a combined household income below $180,000
  • agree to a safety inspectionĀ of the installation, to be performed by a government-appointed inspector.
