What WA households can actually claim.
Rebate marketing is full of blur — federal programs dressed up as state generosity, expired schemes still advertised. Here’s the accurate picture for Western Australia, scheme by scheme.
Federal: Small-scale Technology Certificates
The federal STC scheme discounts every eligible rooftop solar install in WA — typically worth thousands on a family-sized system. We calculate it and deduct it from your quote automatically. The value steps down each January until 2030.
Federal: Cheaper Home Batteries
Roughly 30% off the installed cost of an eligible home battery (5–100kWh, approved product list, accredited installer). This is a federal program — it applies in WA alongside the state scheme below.
WA: Residential Battery Scheme
Western Australia’s Residential Battery Scheme offers eligible households a state rebate toward a home battery, with no-interest loan options, for Synergy and Horizon Power customers. It is separate from the federal battery rebate — we assess your eligibility as part of your quote rather than assuming it.
Exported solar is credited under WA’s Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme (DEBS), which pays a higher rate for energy sent to the grid in the evening peak than during the day — one of the reasons a battery stacks up well here. We factor your buyback rate into any payback estimate.
