For many Victoria (VIC) residents who are considering installing a battery to their home for efficient energy storage and looking for clean and affordable energy, government subsidies and solar battery rebates are a great interest. Whilst solar rebates in VIC have long since been a priority for the Government, the move to smart battery programs to eligible Victorian households is a new frontier for renewables in Australia.

By adding a solar battery to your home, not only will you have the opportunity to save money on your household or business energy bills, but you will also support the Clean Energy Council throughu clean energy and improve energy security for your entire community by storing power produced by solar panels and being less reliant on the grid to draw your power.

A further $11 million is budgeted for training and accrediting electricians to facilitate NSW’s plan on renewable infrastructure, to ensure the scheme is rolled out under the highest safety standards. Over 13,000 jobs will be created as part of Labour’s solar plan.

How the Victoria Battery
Subsidies will work

With energy bills rising 20% year on year, the VIC Labour Government created this battery rebate program for owner-occupier across the state to make solar pv and battery storage solutions more widely accessible and affordable.

The battery storage subsidy will provide $40 million to assist 10,000 property across the state. This point-of-sale discount is capped up to a maximum of $4,174 until 30 June 2021.

Power-sharing will also be a big driver and benefit for recipients of the battery rebate, allowing batteries to communicate with each other in the form of a virtual power plant or micro-grid. This will enable households to share their stored power, offering a unique opportunity to lower electricity prices even further.
