Federal solar and battery support available across Australia
Cheaper Home Batteries Program
The federal program supports eligible small-scale batteries through the SRES. Check current capacity, product, installer and program requirements before you commit.
Local and regional support
States, territories, councils and retailers can offer different assistance. It may be a rebate, loan, tariff, advice service or targeted program rather than the same type of support everywhere.

Queensland and local assistance
The Australian Government assistance directory is the safest place to check current Queensland, council and household energy offers. Treat it as a starting point, because availability and eligibility can change.

Questions and answers
Queensland solar and battery support FAQs
Does every Queensland property receive the same support?
No. The available support can depend on the program, property, household or business type, system design, location, product and installation requirements. Confirm current terms before signing a contract.
Is a state scheme the same as federal STCs?
No. Federal STCs are part of the SRES. A state or territory offer may be a separate rebate, loan, Virtual Power Plant incentive, tariff or targeted support program with different rules.
Who confirms my final eligibility?
The relevant program administrator and an appropriately accredited installer can explain the current requirements, proposed system and final quote. Solar Alliance does not approve claims.
