Wagga Wagga Solar Battery Rebate
At Des Mullins Electrical & Solar in Wagga Wagga, we're helping homeowners and businesses maximise their energy savings with the new federal solar battery rebate now available. With the Federal Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program launching from 1 July 2025, eligible households and small businesses can access substantial upfront discounts on battery installations, helping you take greater control of your energy costs.
This Federal initiative offers approximately 30% off the upfront cost of small-scale battery systems through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). Administered via Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), the discount amount depends on your battery’s usable capacity and reduces gradually through to 2030. By installing now, you can lock in maximum savings while future-proofing your property against rising power prices.
Des Mullins Electrical & Solar is fully accredited under the Clean Energy Council to install battery systems that meet all state, territory, and federal program requirements. Ready to claim your rebate and start saving? Call 0412 982 199 to book your free consultation.
Feed In Tariffs
If you install a solar system without a battery, any excess energy you generate can be fed back into the grid. Your electricity supplier will pay you a feed-in tariff, typically as a credit on your power bill. Learn more about how this works on the NSW Government Feed-in Tariff Rates page.
At Des Mullins Electrical & Solar, we’re here to guide you through the process of accessing these rebates and making the switch to solar as cost-effective as possible. Contact us today to get started.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a government rebate for solar batteries in NSW?
Yes, eligible households and businesses in NSW may be able to access government incentives for installing approved solar battery systems. Programs can vary over time and may include upfront discounts, interest-free loans, or incentive schemes. These rebates are typically part of broader state or federal renewable energy initiatives aimed at reducing grid demand and increasing clean energy use.
Eligibility often depends on factors such as property type, existing solar system size, battery capacity, and whether the system is installed by an accredited provider. Because rebate programs can change, it is important to check current NSW Government guidelines to confirm availability and requirements.
Who is Eligible for a Solar Rebate
Eligibility for a solar battery rebate generally depends on the specific government program. In most cases, applicants must own the property where the battery is being installed, have an existing or new compliant solar panel system, and meet certain system size or performance criteria.
Some programs include income thresholds, property value limits, or participation in virtual power plant (VPP) schemes as conditions of approval. Commercial properties may have different eligibility rules compared to residential homes. Reviewing the official program criteria is essential before applying.
How do you apply for a solar battery rebate?
Applying for a solar battery rebate usually involves confirming eligibility, selecting approved battery equipment, and ensuring installation is carried out by an appropriately accredited installer. In many cases, the rebate is processed at the point of sale, meaning the discount is applied directly to the installation quote rather than reimbursed later.
Some programs require online registration, submission of proof of ownership, energy bills, or system specifications. Where virtual power plant participation is required, applicants may need to agree to specific program terms before approval is granted. It is important to follow the official application steps carefully.
