Solar power is booming across Queensland, but without a battery system, much of that clean energy is sent back to the grid. To help more Australians store and use their own solar power, the Federal Government has launched the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, a rebate scheme designed to slash the upfront cost of battery installation.
At LMS Electrical, we’re here to guide you through what the rebate means, who’s eligible, and how you can take advantage of it.
What Is the Federal Battery Rebate?
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is a new federal initiative starting 1 July 2025. It provides households, small businesses, and community facilities with discounts on approved solar battery systems.
Key features:
- A discount off the upfront cost of eligible battery systems, including installation
- Covers systems with 5 kWh to 100 kWh nominal capacity
- Discount applied upfront by your installer, no waiting for reimbursements
- Only the first 50 kWh of usable capacity is fully eligible for the rebate
This program is part of the Government’s commitment to help Australians lower energy bills, reduce reliance on the grid, and support the shift to renewables.
Who Is Eligible?
You may qualify for the rebate if you:
- Live in Australia (including Queensland)
- Install a battery between 5 kWh and 100 kWh capacity
- Have an existing solar PV system, or install a new one at the same time
- Use an approved product and a licensed, accredited installer
There are no income tests at the federal level, the rebate is open to all homeowners and small businesses that meet the criteria.
How Much Can You Save?
The discount depends on the usable capacity of the battery, and the amounts have changed since this article was first published. Ask us about the current federal and Queensland battery rebates: LMS Electrical shows any rebate clearly on your quote, so you can see your net cost before you decide.
