Solar & Battery Rebates in Western Australia

Western Australia runs its own Residential Battery Scheme on top of the federal discount — one of the few states with a true state-level battery rebate in 2026. Synergy customers can claim a state rebate that stacks with the federal 30% discount, while Horizon Power customers in regional WA can access even larger combined support.

FAQs

WA Rebate Questions, Answered

What WA households ask most about solar and battery rebates.

Who is eligible for solar rebates in WA?

Most owner-occupiers in Western Australia with a suitable roof qualify for federal STC support, and homeowners, landlords and small businesses can claim the federal battery discount — there is no means test. State-specific programs have their own criteria, which our free 30-second check assesses for your exact postcode.

How do I claim solar and battery rebates in WA?

You never have to lodge paperwork yourself. Accredited installers apply all federal and state incentives directly to your quote, so the price you sign is the discounted price. Start with our free eligibility check and a local energy analyst will confirm which programs apply to your home.

How much is the WA battery rebate in 2026?

Synergy customers can typically combine state and federal support worth $4,000–$5,000 on a mid-size battery, while eligible Horizon Power customers in regional WA can reach up to $7,500 in combined rebates. No-interest loans can cover much of the remainder.

Does the WA rebate work with the federal battery discount?

Yes — the WA Residential Battery Scheme was designed to stack with the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount. Your accredited installer applies both to your quote upfront.

Are there $0 upfront cost options available?

Eligible households can combine rebates with approved payment plans or interest-free loans so there is nothing to pay on installation day, and many start saving from the first bill. Availability depends on your eligibility check results and credit assessment.

Will rebate amounts change soon?

Yes — federal battery support steps down over time (it already reduced in May 2026) and state allocations can sell out mid-year. Figures on this page are a general guide only and change without notice, which is why we recommend checking your eligibility now to lock in current rates.

Is the eligibility check really free?

Completely free and obligation-free. It takes about 30 seconds, and you'll only be contacted by an energy analyst if your home conditionally qualifies — there's no charge at any point for checking.
