Update 12 Feb 2024:<\/strong> The Queensland Battery Rebate is live.<\/a><\/p>\n

Update 24 Apr 2024:<\/strong> The Battery Booster Program will end<\/a> at 11:59 pm on 8 May 2024.<\/p>\n

With the resignation of Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk providing a first-rate distraction, Queensland last week joined the ranks of Australian states supporting home solar battery storage with a rebate program.<\/p>\n

Rebates of up to $4,000 will be available to Queensland households under the Battery Booster Rebate Scheme, with the federal and state governments providing $24 million under a 50:50 split to support the program.<\/p>\n

If the taxable income of the income earner for the application is over $66,667, the rebate is reduced to $3,000.<\/p>\n

SolarQuotes estimates the first-year savings for a $10,000 10 kWh installation at $850 for a flat tariff in QLD and $1,248 for a time-of-use tariff. If reduced to $6,000 by the full rebate, it gives a simple battery payback<\/a> of 7 years on a flat tariff and 5 years for those on a time-of-use tariff.<\/p>\n

While the program’s start date hasn\u2019t yet been announced, the government quietly published the legislation<\/a> enabling the scheme last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of assistance under the scheme is to give individual owners of residential premises a rebate to offset the cost of having an approved battery system suitably installed at the premises,\u201d the introduction to the legislation states.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the ABC, which covered the scheme here<\/a>, the state government has based the rebate on a cost of battery + installation<\/a> in Queensland of more than $9000.<\/p>\n

The scheme will be open to individual homeowners with a combined household income below $180,000 a year, with approved batteries to be supplied by approved installers.<\/p>\n

The legislation says:<\/p>\n

approved battery system<\/i><\/b>\u00a0means a battery energy storage system that is included in the list of systems approved, for the purposes of the scheme, on the electricity department\u2019s website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and<\/p>\n

approved installer<\/i><\/b>\u00a0means an installer of approved battery systems at residential premises who is included in the list of installers approved, for the purposes of the scheme, on the electricity department\u2019s website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it appears the QLD Government will maintain those lists.<\/p>\n

Energy Minister Mick de Brenni told the ABC the scheme would begin in 2024.<\/p>\n

Victoria is the only state with a current solar battery<\/a> support scheme. That state offers Solar Battery Loans<\/a> of up to $8,800, with more than 2,900 loans still available.<\/p>\n

The government hasn\u2019t announced caps for the scheme, but this tender for the scheme\u2019s inspectorate<\/a>, says \u201cup to 2,500 inspections across Queensland will be required\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Inspectorate will be responsible for ensuring the safety and quality of installations and educating installers on industry best practice and battery safety<\/a> risks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
