Federal Battery Rebate
Federal Battery Rebate Now Available in Albany WA
Get up to 30% off solar battery storage — now available for Albany homes
From 1 July 2025, homeowners in Albany and the Great Southern region can now access the Federal Battery Rebate — making it far more cost-effective to add a solar battery to your home energy setup.
Whether you already have rooftop solar or are planning a new system, the rebate can cover around 30% of your battery system cost. That means real savings for households looking to store excess solar energy and use it during peak rates, at night, or when the grid goes down.
What Is the Federal Battery Rebate?
The Federal Battery Rebate — part of the national Cheaper Home Batteries Program — is now available to households across Albany and the Great Southern, helping reduce the cost of installing a solar battery at home.
The rebate offers a fixed amount of up to $372 per usable kilowatt-hour (kWh) of battery storage. That discount is applied directly to your battery system — no long delays, no complicated claims.
Whether you’re upgrading your current solar setup with a battery, or installing a full solar and battery package, the rebate makes it easier to store your solar power for use after dark, during evening demand, or when the grid fails.
For homes in Albany, Denmark, and Mount Barker, that means:
- Less reliance on the grid
- Lower electricity bills
- More control over when and how you use solar
- Extra protection when the power goes out
At Albany Solar, we help local homeowners choose the right battery system for their needs, take care of the rebate paperwork, and install durable solutions that suit the Great Southern region.

Can Off-Grid Homes in Albany Access the Federal Battery Rebate?
Yes — off-grid homes in Albany, Denmark, Mount Barker, and rural parts of the Great Southern can still qualify for the Federal Battery Rebate, as long as the system meets the program’s safety, installation, and technical requirements.
That’s great news for farms, lifestyle properties, and remote homes where connecting to the grid just isn’t practical — or where energy self-reliance is the goal.
Example:
A 30kWh off-grid battery system could attract up to $11,160 in rebate support — depending on the usable storage size and how your system is designed.
That’s based on the current rebate rate of up to $372 per usable kilowatt-hour, applied directly at the point of sale.
At Albany Solar, we design and install off-grid solar and battery systems purpose-built for the Great Southern climate. We’ll help you tick every box to make sure your system qualifies and works exactly how you need it to — without ongoing reliance on the grid.
Can You Claim the WA and Federal Battery Rebates Together?
In Western Australia, eligible homeowners may have access to both the Federal Battery Rebate and the WA-based battery programs offered through Synergy and Horizon Power.
While combining both rebates might sound appealing, we strongly recommend claiming the Federal Battery Rebate only.
Why? Because applying for both at once can become a drawn-out, complex process. The two programs operate separately, and trying to stack them often causes delays, added paperwork, or disqualification from one or both.
Synergy or Horizon customer in Albany?
You can technically access both programs — but in most cases, the Federal Battery Rebate delivers the most value with the least hassle.
At Albany Solar, we’ll help you make the right call based on your home, energy usage, and rebate eligibility — so you don’t get caught in red tape or miss out entirely.
Battery Rebate Scams: What Albany Homeowners Should Know
With the Federal Battery Rebate now live, some Albany and Great Southern homeowners are being targeted by companies offering “too-good-to-be-true” battery deals. These operators often rely on pressure tactics, vague rebate promises, or misleading pricing — without offering real local service or reliable systems.
If you’ve received a call, text, or email from someone pushing a “limited-time rebate deal” or urging you to act fast, take a moment to check the facts before signing anything.
