QLD Home Battery Rebate

---

To be eligible for the 2025 solar battery rebate, the following conditions apply:

• Your battery must be Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved.
• The installer must be accredited for battery installation.
• Battery must have a usable capacity between 5kWh and 50kWh     (systems over 50kWh can still receive the rebate up to 50kWh).
• System must be VPP-capable (Virtual Power Plant-ready) — but      joining a VPP is optional.
• The battery must be connected to a solar power system,      either new or existing.
• One rebate per property, but owners of multiple homes     can claim on each property with solar installed.
• Off-grid systems may      also be eligible despite the VPP-ready requirement.
• Not income tested —      available to all property owners.

If you already have a battery, you can still claim the rebate by adding more capacity that meets the requirements.

• Up to $370/kWh rebate:      Receive approx. $370 per usable kilowatt-hour of installed battery      capacity (before admin fees).
• Pre-install and qualify:      Batteries installed before 1 July are still eligible — they just need to      be turned on afterward.
• Unlimited spots available: No      cap on how many households can apply.
• Combine with state rebates:      Eligible systems can receive both state and federal rebates.
• Add-on eligibility:      Already own a battery? You can expand your capacity and still claim the      new rebate.
• Multiple properties covered: You      can claim the rebate on more than one qualifying home.
• VPP-ready systems required: The      battery must support Virtual Power Plant functionality (joining a      VPP is optional).
• Solar system connection required:      Batteries must be installed alongside or connected to a solar panel      system.

• Lower your electricity bills and improve energy independence.
• Store surplus solar power for nighttime or blackout use.
• Lock in your eligibility before the rebate officially launches.
• Avoid supply shortages and installation delays later in the year.
• Beat future price hikes and reduce reliance on the grid.
