Home battery rebates are dropping in 2026

For many households, a home battery is one of the most effective ways to protect against rising energy costs.

IF YOU’VE been considering a home battery, now may be the time to act.

Battery rebates of up to $300 per kWh are now available, but from May 2026, rebate amounts will drop.

Depending on battery capacity, your available rebate could reduce by as much as 50 per cent on May 1, with further decreases every six months, meaning the longer you wait, the less financial support will be available.

A home battery allows you to store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it when electricity prices are higher.

This can significantly reduce power bills, increase independence from the grid, and make better use of the solar energy your home produces. For many households, it’s one of the most effective ways to protect against rising energy costs.

Whether you’re considering upgrading an existing solar system in 2026, or planning a new installation, a home battery can deliver long-term savings, greater energy control and peace of mind.
