\"Solar<\/p>\n

Victoria’s Andrews Government last week expanded its Solar Homes battery rebate scheme to a total of 247 eligible postcodes – and it’s not done yet.<\/p>\n

The rebate currently offers up to $4,838 off the cost of a solar battery system in eligible postcodes. There are a few conditions<\/a>, including the property must already have a solar power system installed with a capacity equal to or greater than 5kW, and it’s not available to households that have already received a Solar Homes rebate.<\/p>\n

Details of some of the systems eligible for the rebate can be found on the SolarQuotes battery comparison table<\/a> – they are indicated by the Clean Energy Council (CEC) logo appearing in the “Australian Approvals” row.<\/p>\n

When the rebate originally kicked off, it was only available in a couple of dozen postcodes and uptake was very slow. It was then expanded to an additional 80 postcodes<\/a> in November last year; but there still wasn’t a huge amount of interest. The Victorian Government says there have been 359 approved applications since the rebate became available in July 2019, with 219 of those systems installed to date.<\/p>\n

An original aim of the program was to see 10,000 battery systems<\/a> installed over the 10 years the Solar Homes program is operating.<\/p>\n

Last Monday a further 143 postcodes were added, with 70 per cent of those in regional Victoria. Some of the regional centres now eligible include Bendigo, Shepparton, Mildura and Bairnsdale. Approximately 35% of Victoria\u2019s residential postcodes are now eligible for the rebate – a list current as at March 2 can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the time of publishing, 526 out of the 585 rebates for the current release were still available.<\/p>\n

Expected Savings Claim<\/h2>\n

A Victorian government release published on Saturday states<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Households with an average 11kWh battery around can expect to save around $650 a year on their electricity bills, in addition to savings they are already making with solar panels.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Using the default settings on the SolarQuotes solar and battery calculator<\/a> for a few eligible postcodes showed the additional savings provided by a battery of this capacity to be nowhere close to $650 a year. Victorian solar households considering taking up the battery rebate<\/a> offer based on potential financial benefits should do their sums before pursuing a purchase to determine if installing a battery is worthwhile in their specific situation.<\/p>\n

Other savings figures mentioned in promotional material regarding the program were also put under the spotlight<\/a> recently by SQ’s Ronald.<\/p>\n

Another Expansion On The Cards<\/h2>\n

It appears the Andrews Government hasn’t finished fiddling with the dials of the incentive yet. The release also notes:<\/p>\n

“To further strengthen Victoria\u2019s electricity grid, the Labor Government will look to expand the battery rebate program to controlled batteries, microgrids and virtual power plants from July 2020.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
