βοΈπ SOLAR & BATTERY REBATES ARE CHANGING β WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
Thinking about installing solar panels or battery storage? There are some important government rebate changes coming that could affect how much you save!
π° WHEN DO THE REBATES REDUCE?
β
Solar rebates reduce every year on 1 January.
β
Federal battery rebates reduce every six months, on 1 January and 1 July.
π
The next reduction for BOTH is 1 January 2027.
Both federal incentive programs are currently scheduled to continue until the end of 2030, but the available discounts reduce over time.
π BIGGER BATTERIES NOW HAVE DIFFERENT REBATE LEVELS
Since 1 May 2026, the federal battery rebate has been calculated in tiers:
β
First 14 kWh of usable battery capacity β 100% of the applicable rebate factor.
β
From 14 kWh to 28 kWh β 60% of the applicable factor.
β
From 28 kWh to 50 kWh β 15% of the applicable factor.
π‘ IMPORTANT: IT'S YOUR INSTALLATION DATE THAT COUNTS!
Even if you accept your quote in December, if your system isn't installed until January, the new rebate calculation will apply.
