Rebates & Benefits
Adding a solar battery to your solar panels gives you more control over your energy. With a home battery, you can keep the lights on during blackouts, use stored power at night or during expensive peak hours, and even export excess energy back to the grid or a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) for extra savings.
In Australia, solar batteries generally cost between $1,000 and $2,000 per kWh, depending on the brand, size, and location. For example, a typical 10 kWh battery may cost around $10,000–$20,000 before rebates.
Thanks to government support, you can now save up to 30% off the upfront cost of installing a battery, which is around $4,000 back on an 11–13 kWh system. The NSW Battery Rebate is already available, and from July 2025 the Federal Government’s new rebate will provide up to $372 per usable kWh (capped at 50 kWh).
With rebates plus ongoing savings on power bills, solar batteries are more affordable than ever — helping you reduce costs, stay powered, and enjoy greater independence from the grid.

Frequently Ask Questions
How does a solar battery work?
A solar battery stores the excess energy your solar panels generate during the day. Instead of sending all unused power back to the grid, the battery holds it for later use — such as at night, during peak tariff hours, or even in a blackout (if your system supports backup). This means you rely less on the grid and make the most of your solar investment.
Are solar batteries safe?
Yes. Modern solar batteries are designed with multiple safety features and must meet strict Australian Standards (AS/NZS 5139). At BrightMate Solar, we only install Clean Energy Council–approved products from trusted brands, ensuring your system is safe, reliable, and built for Australian conditions.
What rebates are available on solar batteries in Australia?
Battery rebates vary by state and federally:
✓NSW – Ongoing rebates and programs for eligible households.
✓ Victoria – Solar Homes Program offers battery rebates for qualifying homes.
✓ South Australia – Subsidies and finance options through state-supported schemes.
✓Federal Government – From July 2025, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program will provide up to $372 per usable kWh (around $4,000 off an average home battery).
How much does it cost to install a solar battery?
The price depends on the brand, size, and installation requirements. In Australia, solar batteries generally cost between $1,000–$2,000 per kWh. For example, a typical 10 kWh battery can cost $10,000–$20,000 before rebates. With government support, this price can drop by around 30%.
Is it worth it to get a solar battery in Australia?
For many households, yes. A battery allows you to:
- Use more of your own solar power instead of buying from the grid
- Cut your electricity bills significantly
- Stay powered during blackouts (with backup-capable batteries)
- Gain energy independence as electricity prices rise with falling battery costs and growing rebates, solar batteries are becoming a smart long-term investment.
Do feed-in tariffs still apply if I have a battery?
Yes. You can still export excess solar energy to the grid and receive feed-in tariff payments. However, with a battery, most households choose to store solar first for self-use, and only export what’s left over — maximising savings on their power bills.
What size battery do I need?
It depends on your energy usage, goals, and budget. As a general guide:
- 5–10 kWh suits smaller households using solar mainly at night
- 10–15 kWh suits average family homes
- 15–20 kWh+ suits larger households or businesses with high energy use
At BrightMate Solar, we’ll analyse your electricity bills and tailor a system so you get the right battery size for your needs.
