During July, that jumped to 18.2 kWh \u2014 perhaps not surprising given the bigger the battery, the more generous the rebate (to a degree). You can see rebate estimates for various selected batteries using the SolarQuotes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/federal-rebate\/calculator\/\">federal battery rebate calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>How the states\/territories compared (nominal capacity in kWh):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NSW: 18.5<\/li>\n<li>QLD: 19.8<\/li>\n<li>SA: 17.3<\/li>\n<li>VIC: 17<\/li>\n<li>WA: 16.5<\/li>\n<li>ACT: 17.9<\/li>\n<li>TAS: 17.1<\/li>\n<li>NT: 22.4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, in a graph:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-93631\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/average-battery-size.png\" alt=\"Graph of average solar battery capacities in July 2025\" width=\"896\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/average-battery-size.png 896w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/average-battery-size-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/average-battery-size-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the CER&#8217;s installation figures are for the month of July, it&#8217;s not clear how many of\u00a0 those batteries were &#8216;installed&#8217; but not fully commissioned before last month. From early April, Australians were able to install a battery and benefit from the rebate&#8217;s value as long as the battery wasn&#8217;t turned on for testing and certification before the official start date of the scheme. It was from that point that STCs could be created.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the initial results bode well for a successful program. So much so, recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/federal-battery-rebate-on-track-to-run-out-of-funding\/\">analysis carried out by SolarQuotes<\/a> indicates the initiative could exhaust its announced $2.3bn funding well ahead of schedule, although we also learned a further $1.2bn has been earmarked to carry the program through to 2030-31. However, there could still be a gap unless the Albanese government takes action.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a lot of money, but it&#8217;s not just solar power system owners who will benefit.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;An increase in solar batteries across Australia benefits the householder and reduces supply and demand across the whole electricity grid, meaning lower electricity bills for everyone,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/cer.gov.au\/news-and-media\/media\/2025\/august\/strong-solar-battery-uptake-first-month\"> said<\/a> CER Executive General Manager of the Scheme Operations Division, Carl Binning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s probably more accurate to say this will put downward pressure on network-related costs and wholesale electricity prices during peak periods rather than result in lower electricity *bills* for all. Other factors come into play and some electricity retailers are quite adept at wringing out maximum value from their customers. That being the case, it will always be a good idea to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/energy\/\">compare electricity retailer plans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Industry On Notice<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a frustrating fact incentive schemes of this nature also trigger a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/the-rebate-cowboys-are-back\/\">stampede of suspect practices<\/a> from a minority of players in the industry. We&#8217;ve already seen multiple examples of misleading ads, exaggerated performance claims, poor installation, crappy products \u2014 and even fake government websites.<\/p>\n<p>On the issue of installation quality, Binning said the Clean Energy Regulator&#8217;s inspection program for solar batteries that have benefited from the rebate have already kicked off.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u2018We\u2019ll publish inspection findings later this month once enough inspections have been completed to identify trends, and draft findings have been confirmed through due processes,&#8221; he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As well as state and territory electrical and safety regulators, the findings will be shared with industry bodies such as Solar Accreditation Australia, which is responsible for accrediting solar and battery system designers and installers.<\/p>\n<p>The Clean Energy Regulator isn&#8217;t the only government agency keeping an eye out for dodgy behaviour associated with the scheme. Also on Friday, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said solar\/battery suppliers and electricity retailers must act in the consumer&#8217;s interest.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe ACCC will be watching carefully and actively monitoring consumer complaints, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accc.gov.au\/media-release\/electricity-industry-on-notice-as-more-households-invest-in-subsidised-batteries-and-solar\">said<\/a> ACCC Commissioner Anna Brakey . &#8220;We will hold solar and battery installers, retailers and suppliers accountable to ensure they comply with Australia\u2019s consumer laws.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But for consumers, 28.3495 grams of protection is worth 453.592 grams of cure as the old saying goes<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/home-battery-installation-statistics-mb3239\/#en-93628-1' id='enref-93628-1' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(93628)'>1<\/a><\/sup>.
