Victoria still runs the Solar Homes rebate, worth $1,400 off a solar system in 2026. The separate Solar Victoria battery loan closed in May 2025, so batteries are federal-only.
Is a home battery worth it in Victoria?
A battery pays off in Victoria when your feed-in tariff is low and you use a lot of power after dark. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate takes up to about $3,700 off the install, and the Victorian Solar Homes rebate can stack on top, which has pulled payback down to roughly 6 to 9 years for most homes. The check estimates your payback from your bill and postcode.
When does the Victoria solar rebate end?
The federal rebates shrink on a set schedule. The STC solar rebate drops a little each January, and the Cheaper Home Batteries rebate fell on 1 May 2026 and now steps down every six months, with the next cut on 1 January 2027. State schemes can also close or run out of funding without much notice. Waiting means a smaller rebate, so today's number is the best it will be.
