Save Big with the Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program

The Solar Battery Rebate offers up to $18,600 for a 50 kWh battery system (~$372/kWh, or ~9.3 STCs per usable kWh), with systems up to 100 kWh subsidised for the first 50 kWh. For example, a 13.5 kWh battery earns ~125 STCs, worth ~$5,000 at current STC values. Reef Solar ensures accurate rebates for your system.

Why It’s a Game-Changer for Queenslanders:

• Cash Back: Save ~$4,278 on an 11.5 kWh system (~107 STCs) or up to $18,600 for 50 kWh (~465 STCs).
• Lower Bills: Store solar energy for peak times or outages, saving up to $1,100/year (or $2,300/year with new solar).
• Eco Impact: Support Australia’s 82% renewable energy goal by 2030.
• Grid Support: VPP-capable batteries stabilise Queensland’s grid (participation optional).
• Bonus Relief: Get $150 off your energy bill in July 2025!

Eligibility:

• New battery systems installed after April 6, 2025, paired with new or existing solar PV.
• Retroactive claims for systems installed April 6–June 30, 2025, if not operational until July 1, 2025.
• Batteries must be CEC-approved and VPP-capable (joining optional).
• Off-grid systems are eligible.
• Ineligible: Batteries installed before April 6, 2025.

Note: Queensland’s Battery Booster program closed in May 2024, but the new 2025 federal rebate gives Gladstone and Rockhampton residents a fair go at savings. One rebate per property, multiple properties eligible with solar. STC values are provisional and may adjust as program details are finalised.

Don’t wait for July 1! Install your battery with Reef Solar’s cashback deal, available until June 30, 2025. Get cashback (up to $18,600, based on ~9.3 STCs/kWh) payable from July 1, 2025, locking in your rebate before funding runs out. Our team ensures accurate STC calculations for early installs.

How It Works:

1. Purchase and install your battery system with us by June 30, 2025.
2. Receive your cashback when the rebate launches, based on STC values.
3. Combine with SRES STCs for extra savings.

Act by Christmas 2025 to secure your system at today’s prices and power your Queensland home sustainably!

STCs reward you for installing a solar PV system or battery under the SRES, slashing upfront costs. Solar STCs reduce solar PV system prices, while battery STCs (new for 2025, ~9.3 STCs/kWh) cover the rebate. Reef Solar ensures precise STC calculations for both.

How It Works:

• Certificates Earned: Solar STCs based on system size and Gladstone/Rockhampton’s output; battery STCs based on usable capacity (e.g., 125 STCs for 13.5 kWh).
• Instant Savings: We trade STCs to reduce your installation cost upfront.
• Eco Impact: Support Queensland’s renewable energy goals.

Why It’s Great:

• Lower Costs: Reduce solar and battery system prices.
• Efficient Living: Save more with a solar-battery combo.
• Sustainable Choice: Back Australia’s clean energy future.

Note: Solar STCs require installation within 12 months of claiming and depend on property STC history. Battery STCs are provisional (~9.3 STCs/kWh) and may adjust. Contact us to confirm eligibility.
