As the dust settles after the 2025 federal election, the Australian Government has introduced new policies to support the clean energy transition—especially in home battery storage. For homeowners and businesses looking to reduce power bills and increase energy independence, Battery Rebates in Australia 2025 present a great opportunity to save and invest in a sustainable future.
At Reliance Solar, we help Queenslanders understand and access the latest battery rebates in Australia, ensuring you get the most value out of your solar investment.

- Homes with existing rooftop solar
- Residents in regional and remote areas
Rebate amount: Up to $3,000, depending on battery size and household income.
Eligibility: You must have at least a 5kW solar system and be on a time-of-use or demand tariff.
At Reliance Solar, we can assess your eligibility and guide you through the application process.
State-Based Battery Rebates in 2025

As a Queensland-based company, Reliance Solar specialises in helping locals take advantage of this rebate quickly and efficiently.

Additional Savings Through Virtual Power Plants (VPPs)
In 2025, many Australians are also joining Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) to unlock additional value from their battery systems.
With a VPP, your battery supports the energy grid during peak times, and you get:
- Credits on your energy bill
- Performance payments
- Improved return on your investment
Popular VPPs include the Tesla Energy Plan, AGL’s VPP, and SonnenFlat.
Reliance Solar can help you choose a battery that’s VPP-compatible, so you’re ready to join a program when you’re eligible.
Are Battery Rebates Taxable?
In most cases, rebates for solar batteries are not considered taxable income for residential users. However, if you’re installing the system for a business or investment property, we recommend consulting your tax advisor.
What to Expect Next
As Australia moves closer to its 2030 emissions targets, battery incentives are likely to expand. This could include programs for renters, small businesses, and apartment owners. The 2025 post-election policies signal strong federal and state commitment to growing battery adoption.
