Live in Wagga Wagga, Junee, Temora, Cootamundra, or Tumut? A solar battery could soon be much more affordable thanks to the upcoming Federal Battery Rebate.
If you’ve already got solar—or are thinking about it—adding a battery means you can use your own solar power at night and rely less on the grid.
That means lower bills, more control, and better protection from rising energy costs.
The rebate could take thousands off the price of a battery system, making now a great time to get ready.
Set to launch in July 2025, the Federal Battery Rebate is a new Australia-wide initiative designed to help households cut the cost of adding solar battery storage. For homeowners across Wagga Wagga, Junee, Temora, Coolamon, Narrandera, and the wider Riverina, this could mean substantial savings on your solar battery system.
The rebate is expected to provide up to $372 per usable kilowatt-hour (kWh) of battery capacity, making solar energy storage more affordable for regional households.
If you already have solar panels and want to store your excess power for evening use, or you’re planning a full solar and battery system installation in Wagga Wagga, this rebate could slash thousands off your upfront costs.

With the Federal Battery Rebate, homeowners can finally take full control of their solar energy and power their homes on their terms.

Yes—in many cases, off-grid solar systems in regional NSW may be eligible for the upcoming Federal Battery Rebate, provided they meet the required technical and safety standards.
That’s great news for rural properties, farms, and remote households across the Wagga Wagga region, including areas like Lockhart, Narrandera, Junee, Coolamon, and Tumut—where reliable grid access is limited or not an option.
For example, a 40kWh off-grid battery system could potentially receive up to $16,000 in rebates, depending on the final rebate structure and your system’s specifications. That’s a major step forward for large homes, working farms, and agribusinesses seeking reliable off-grid power without the high price tag.
We’re actively tracking rebate developments and will work with you to design an off-grid solar and battery system that meets the rebate criteria—so you don’t miss out.
Most likely—yes. While final details are still being finalised, current indications suggest that eligible households in Wagga Wagga, Junee, Temora, Narrandera, and other parts of regional NSW may be able to combine the Federal Battery Rebate with state-level incentives.
In particular, the NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) may still offer additional support—especially if your battery is Virtual Power Plant (VPP) capable.
We’re monitoring the rollout of both programs closely, and we’ll help you navigate your options to make the most of any stackable rebates or energy-saving incentives once the Federal scheme is live.
