Western Australia solar rebate questions

How much is the solar rebate in Western Australia in 2026?

Western Australia homeowners can claim up to $5,100 in stacked 2026 rebates for an eligible solar and battery install. That combines the federal STC rebate (STC Zone 3, worth roughly $3,000 to $4,500 on a typical system), the federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate (up to about $3,700), plus the WA Residential Battery Scheme. Solar-only installs receive a smaller amount. The 30-second check returns your exact number.

Does Western Australia have its own solar or battery rebate?

Western Australia adds a state battery rebate worth about $1,300 for Synergy customers or up to $3,800 on Horizon, stacking on the federal rebate. The allocation is capped and running down.

Is a home battery worth it in Western Australia?

A battery pays off in Western Australia 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 WA Residential Battery Scheme 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 Western Australia 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.
