Make the most of the Home Battery Rebate

IN JULY, the federal government rolled out a new Home Battery Rebate designed to make solar batteries more affordable than ever.

Eligible households can receive $350 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of storage capacity, up to 50 kWh. That means you could save as much as $17,500 on a home battery system.

Why is this important? A battery allows you to store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it at night, slashing power bills and protecting against rising electricity costs. With energy prices continuing to climb, batteries are no longer just for the tech-savvy, they’re becoming a smart, mainstream investment for families and homeowners. They can also give you backup power in the event of a grid outage.

This rebate will also require batteries to be Virtual Power Plant (VPP) ready. That means your system can participate in energy-sharing programs, helping stabilise the grid while putting money back in your pocket.

Winki Energy believe this program will be a game-changer for the Surf Coast and across Victoria, and the company is perfectly positioned to help educate you on your options:
