What Solar and Battery Rebates Are Available in WA?
There are several government incentives worth exploring when planning a solar or battery installation.
Federal Solar Panel Incentives
The Australian Government's Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) provides incentives for eligible solar installations through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs).
These certificates can reduce upfront installation costs, with the value depending on factors such as system size, location and current incentive rates.
Government Battery Rebates
The Federal Government's Cheaper Home Batteries Program provides incentives for eligible home battery installations.
Western Australia has also introduced a residential battery incentive scheme, with financial support subject to program eligibility requirements.
These incentives may help homeowners make better use of their solar energy by storing excess electricity for later use.
For current rebate details, visit the Clean Energy Regulator or the WA Government. If you're unsure which incentives apply to your property, contact the VDW Electrical team for guidance.
Can You Get a Battery Rebate with Existing Solar Panels?
Yes, eligible homeowners with existing solar systems may qualify for battery incentives when installing an approved battery.
Battery storage allows you to use more of the energy generated by your solar panels during the evening or when sunlight is limited, potentially reducing your reliance on grid electricity.
Eligibility depends on the current rebate conditions, battery specifications and installation requirements.
