The West Australian Government has taken another bold step towards clean, sustainable energy with a new battery rebate. The Residential Battery Scheme, which began on 1 July 2025, offers eligible households a discount when installing home battery systems.
A battery system can offer significant energy savings, as it stores electricity in a similar fashion to a power bank for a mobile phone. When there is excess energy, the battery charges, and when the grid is busier and more expensive, owners can use energy from the battery.
Under the scheme, households could save as much as $1,600 per year on energy costs when pairing a battery with rooftop solar.
