Don’t Waste Your One Shot at a Solar Battery Rebate

With the new Cheaper Home Batteries Program rolling out on July 1, 2025, Aussie homeowners have a golden opportunity to future-proof their energy needs and save big - but here’s the catch: you only get one shot per property.

That’s right. Once you claim your battery rebate, you can’t go back. So if you make the wrong choice now, it could cost you thousands in missed savings or inefficiencies later.

‍

Common Battery Mistakes (and why they matter)

• Undersized battery?
  You’ll quickly hit your system’s limits - and guess what? Expanding later means no rebate on the extra capacity.
• Oversized battery?
  Not a problem. Bigger batteries may cost more upfront, but they’re a smart move for long-term energy independence and rising electrification.
• Cheap or unknown brand?
  Tempting, but risky. Some brands vanish just when you need them most - leaving you with zero support and a failing system.

‍

So, What’s the Smart Move?

• Do your research - Start with trusted sources like SolarQuotes, which offer verified reviews and installer comparisons.
• Choose reliable installers - Look for those with a strong track record and local support.
• Go with global manufacturers - Brands with years in the market are more likely to deliver long-term reliability and warranty support.

Why This Rebate Matters

The upcoming government rebate covers up to 30% of battery costs, depending on your income and location - making high-quality systems significantly more affordable.

But remember: you only get one chance to claim. Make it count.
