Here&#8217;s how to do it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->As home batteries finally become mainstream thanks to the 30% discount offered by the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, early adopters who took the plunge back when batteries were smaller and more expensive might feel shortchanged.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;d be wrong: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/federal-rebate\/\">the rebate also applies to<\/a> the expansion of existing batteries, whether that&#8217;s adding batteries in parallel or additional stacks for a modular battery system.<\/p>\n<h2>Battery Rebate Rules On Expanding Batteries<\/h2>\n<p>Existing batteries can be expanded provided that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The battery system has not already received the rebate;<\/li>\n<li>The additional capacity is at least 5 kWh;<\/li>\n<li>The upgraded battery does not exceed 100 kWh in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/battery-storage-capacity-mb3234\/\">nominal capacity<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are also rules specific to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/modular\/\">modular batteries<\/a> which feature stackable or connectable units, allowing owners to start with the basics and add stacks of additional capacity as needed.

These needed a separate SolarEdge, Fronius or SMA inverter.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Sungrow, Victron and Solax were supplying inverters for Low Voltage batteries, using the plethora of available technologies, like nickel-iron, zinc-bromide, but more often lead-acid and various lithium chemistries offered in a traditional 48 volt package.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93608\" style=\"width: 542px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93608\" class=\"wp-image-93608 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sungrow-hybrid-fronius-e1754272179180.jpg\" alt=\"Sungrow 5kW hybrid solar inverter\" width=\"532\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sungrow-hybrid-fronius-e1754272179180.jpg 532w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sungrow-hybrid-fronius-e1754272179180-262x300.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93608\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Older Sungrow 5kW hybrid with LGChem 48V battery.

For some that&#8217;s an absolute ceiling, so the classic combo of 5kW Enphase microinverters with 5kW Powerwall 2 means nothing more will fit.<\/p>\n<p>Others allow 10kW of solar generation plus an additional 10kW of battery inverter. However a hybrid machine will count toward both totals and even if you have 3 phase, there is still a 30kVa ceiling for the whole site.<\/p>\n<p>The local network may allow more capacity, but may need a significant fee paid for an investigation, and there could be an export limit imposed.<\/p>\n<h2>Array Wiring May Not Pass Muster<\/h2>\n<div class=\"x1lliihq xjkvuk6 x1iorvi4\">\n<div class=\"xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p>The solar installation standard of AS\/NZS 5033 was updated in 2014, at which point all DC wiring had to be run in conduit for mechanical protection, and panels had to be fire-rated. Most electricians will be uncomfortable trying to reuse these arrays, which are pretty ancient by solar industry standards.<\/p>\n<p>The specifications changed again in 2021 to align with international standards, so even fairly recent solar installations may be deemed obsolete, especially if it&#8217;s cheap gear that&#8217;s badly installed. A conservative company may want nothing to do with an existing array on their new compliance certificate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p>However, if you bought high-quality solar panels, which are well installed, I wouldn&#8217;t be shy about keeping them going. There&#8217;s no point tearing down and grinding up functional electrical equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Provided they pass electrical testing, changing the terminals to suit a new inverter is a minor repair to what was a compliant installation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93600\" style=\"width: 673px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93600\" class=\"wp-image-93600 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sungrow-sbr-base.jpg\" alt=\"ngrow battery\" width=\"663\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sungrow-sbr-base.jpg 663w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sungrow-sbr-base-300x258.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93600\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sungrow base plate and a single 3.2kWh cell block ready to accept two more blocks.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Rules Are Subject To Change<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re thinking about expanding an existing battery my advice is to get on with it before the goalposts move.<\/p>\n<p>When the federal rebate was initially released, expanding a stack <em>wasn&#8217;t<\/em> eligible for subsidy. The only way to get additional capacity was to buy a complete battery stack and connect it in parallel. Thankfully that problem has been solved.<\/p>\n<p>However a new Australian technical specification is in the works. We&#8217;ve seen an exposure draft and the industry is pushing to have it reworded.
