WA & Federal Battery Rebates Are Here — But So Are the Cowboys: Here’s What You Need to Know

Here’s What Every WA Homeowner Needs to Know

From July 1st, Western Australians can finally tap into two major battery rebates:

  • Up to $1,300 from the WA Government ($130/kWh, up to 10kWh)

  • Up to $18,500 from the Federal Government’s National Solar Battery Scheme ($370/kWh, up to 50kWh)

A 15kWh battery system could now attract up to $6,850 in total rebates — dramatically lowering the upfront cost for homeowners.

It’s a game-changer. But where there’s opportunity, there are also opportunists.


Why These Rebates Are a Big Deal

Battery storage has become far more affordable thanks to these rebates. If you’ve got a standard 6.6kW solar system (like most WA homes), you could now add a 10–15kWh battery for as little as $4,000 after rebates.

That kind of setup can reduce your electricity bill to almost zero — and most systems pay for themselves in under two years.

But with every great opportunity comes risk — and this rebate has sparked a wave of unqualified operators trying to make a quick buck.


The Rise of “Cowboy” Battery Installers

Since the rebates launched, the market has been flooded with pop-up companies that:

  • Lack proper experience or certification

  • Use cheap, unreliable, and untested battery systems

  • Disappear within months

  • Offer no warranty or after-sales support

These companies often undercut prices just to grab your rebate — leaving you stuck with a system that underperforms or breaks down, with no one left to help.
