With us, you save money, avoid the stress, and help WA move toward clean energy.<\/p>\n
What is the WA Government Battery Rebate?
The WA battery rebate is a state government incentive to encourage home battery installations. It offers a cash rebate on the cost of a new battery system and provides access to an interest-free solar battery loan to help with upfront costs.
This home battery rebate WA scheme works alongside the Australian Government\u2019s Cheaper Home Batteries Program, meaning you may be able to claim both for even bigger savings.
Simply, it\u2019s a \u201cbuy-one-get-a-discount\u201d style incentive. You buy a qualifying battery and get cash back and financing help from the government.
The rebate money is paid directly to your accredited installer (not to you), so you see the discount at purchase. This scheme supports WA\u2019s clean energy goals by requiring VPP participation; in effect, your battery can send stored solar power back into the grid when needed.
How Much Can You Get with the WA Battery Rebate 2025?
How much you receive depends on your electricity network and the size of battery.
\u2022 Synergy-area customers get $130 per kWh (capped at $1,300 for a 10\u202fkWh system)
\u2022 Horizon Power customers (remote areas) get $380 per kWh (capped at $3,800).
This reflects higher costs in rural zones. On top of that, the Federal Government\u2019s battery rebate (roughly a 30% discount on battery cost) stacks on top.
Practically, a 10\u202fkWh battery will qualify for the full state rebate and roughly $3,700\u2013$4,000 federal rebate. Altogether, residents can see up to $5,000 off (Synergy) or $7,500 off (Horizon) the cost of a 10\u202fkWh system.
And remember, no-interest loans can cover up to $10,000 of your purchase (battery, inverter, or even solar upgrades) if your household income is below $210k.
Network State Rebate Loan Cap Notes
Synergy $130\/kWh (max $1,300) $10,000 (no interest) Combined with Fed, up to $5,000 total
Horizon $380\/kWh (max $3,800) $10,000 (no interest) Combined with Fed, up to $7,500 total
Shortly after July 1, 2025 when the program launched, the WA government expanded availability so even more households could claim rebates. Thanks to that update, 100,000 rebates are now available and the higher rebate rates apply to allow widespread uptake.
Battery Rebate Eligibility Checklist: Do You Qualify in WA?
Wondering if your home can claim the WA battery rebate? Follow these 5 simple checks:
1. Residency: You must be a permanent Australian resident.
2. Electricity network: You must have a Synergy or Horizon Power account at your property. (If you\u2019re off-grid, only the federal scheme applies.)
3. Battery size: The new (or replacement) battery system must have \u2265\u202f5.0\u202fkWh usable capacity.
4. Approved vendor & products: Buy through an accredited WA vendor. Ensure the battery and inverter are on the Synergy\/Horizon supported equipment lists (which themselves draw from the Clean Energy Council\u2019s approved list).
5. VPP-ready & compliant: Your chosen battery system must be Virtual Power Plant capable and meet the network\u2019s technical rules. (This means a smart, grid-connectable battery with internet connectivity.)
6. Landlord consent (if renting): If you rent your home, long-term rental is eligible \u2013 you\u2019ll just need written permission from your landlord to install the battery. (Short-term holiday lets don\u2019t count.)
If you tick all the above, you\u2019re good to go. On the flip side, owners of government-owned properties or industrial sites cannot apply. The scheme is strictly for residential, grid-connected WA homes.
VPP-ready batteries must be on the approved lists. Popular models include Tesla Powerwall, LG Chem RESU, Sonnen, BYD and others \u2013 all with internet connectivity to join the grid\u2019s Virtual Power Plant.
Approved Battery Systems in WA & VPP Requirements \u2014 What Qualifies
Not every battery makes the cut. To get the WA rebate, the system must be on Synergy\u2019s or Horizon\u2019s Supported Solutions List, meaning it has been pre-approved for grid-connection and VPP participation.
In simple terms, the battery\/inverter combo must meet Western Power\u2019s and Synergy\/Horizon\u2019s technical standards and be capable of remote dispatch. Systems advertised as \u201cVPP-ready\u201d usually qualify, but you should always verify.
Here are some examples of popular approved systems (with specs). Lead times vary by stock and demand.
Brand \/ Model Usable kWh (approx.) VPP-ready? Warranty Lead time (Perth) Renostain Install Package
Tesla Powerwall 2 13.5 kWh Yes 10 years 8\u201312 weeks Renostain Tesla Powerwall Bundle
LG Chem RESU (e.g. 10H) 9.3 kWh Yes 10 years 4\u20138 weeks Renostain LG RESU Home Kit
Sonnen Eco (10\u201315 kWh models) 10 kWh Yes 10 years 8\u201310 weeks Renostain Sonnen Grid Bundle
BYD Battery-Box Premium HVM 13.8 kWh Yes 10 years 10\u201312 weeks Renostain BYD Residential Package
Sungrow LUNA2000 (9.8 kWh) 9.8 kWh Yes 10 years 6\u20138 weeks Renostain Sungrow Home System
All of the above (and many others) appear on the official WA rebate lists. In fact, any system on those lists is VPP-ready by definition \u2013 meaning it can communicate with the grid, report its state, and respond to the VPP aggregator\u2019s commands.
When you choose your system, Renostain will double-check that it meets the Virtual Power Plant requirements: connection to the grid, compliance with Western Power & Synergy specs, and ongoing internet access.
How Renostain Handles Your WA Government Battery Rebate: 5 Easy Steps
You don\u2019t have to wade through paperwork yourself. Renostain handles the entire process, step by step:
Step #1. Free Pre-Check & Quote (24\u201348\u202fH)
We start by checking your postcode and electricity network. Within 1\u20132 days we\u2019ll tell you if you qualify and provide a free quote. This includes confirming your Synergy\/Horizon connection, household details, and an initial idea of available rebates and loans.
Step #2. Equipment Selection & Compliance Verification
Next, we help pick the right system. We\u2019ll ensure your chosen battery and inverter are on the official approved lists (Synergy\/Horizon supported solutions). We also verify VPP compatibility and tech specs. This pre-check means no surprises. You\u2019ll only buy a system guaranteed to qualify for the rebate and loan.
Step #3. Installation & VPP Enrolment
Our certified WA installers then fit the system. We coordinate any necessary electrical inspections and complete commissioning.
Importantly, we also help you enroll in the Virtual Power Plant program. (For Synergy customers this might mean joining \u201cBattery Rewards\u201d, or a Horizon equivalent; we guide you through it.) Installation timelines vary, typically 2\u20136 weeks depending on stock. But we keep you updated every step.
Step #4. Rebate & Loan Application Lodgement
After install, we do the paperwork for you. Renostain submits your rebate claim and loan application to Plenti (the scheme administrator) on your behalf. The WA Government then processes these.
Approved rebates are paid directly to us, so we pass the discount to you at purchase. Meanwhile, Plenti will arrange your no-interest loan (if you requested one), which typically takes a few weeks to approve. During this period, we follow up and keep you informed.
Step #5. Aftercare & Monitoring
Once everything\u2019s set up, we still have your back. We provide ongoing warranty support and system monitoring. We\u2019ll check that your battery and solar are performing as expected and handle any warranty issues. Plus, as VPP programs evolve, we can advise on any updates to maximize your rewards.
With Renostain, the hardest part is choosing a colour for your solar inverter, the rest is on us.

FAQs
Q1. Who is eligible for the WA Government Battery Rebate?
Eligible applicants must live in Western Australia, be 18+, and have a Synergy or Horizon Power account. The home must be a private residence (owned or rented with consent) on the main grid. The battery must be \u22655\u202fkWh usable, new (or additional\/ replacement), and bought through an approved installer.
Q2. How is the WA battery rebate calculated?
The rebate is based on usable battery capacity. Synergy customers get $130 per kWh (up to $1,300 for 10\u202fkWh) and Horizon customers get $380 per kWh (up to $3,800). There are caps per network; 10\u202fkWh for Synergy, 10\u202fkWh for Horizon. Note: this is in addition to the federal battery discount (30% off the battery cost).
Q3. Can renters claim the battery rebate in WA?
Yes. Long-term renters can claim the WA rebate as long as they obtain their landlord\u2019s written consent to install the battery. The scheme explicitly allows rental properties under these conditions. You or the property owner must also hold the Synergy\/Horizon account, and the installation must remain with the property.
Q4. Which battery systems qualify for the rebate?
Only equipment on the Synergy or Horizon supported equipment lists is eligible. This means most major grid-connected batteries like Tesla Powerwall, LG Chem RESU, Sonnen, BYD, GoodWe, etc. with compatible inverters qualify. The system must be \u201cVPP-ready\u201d (able to communicate with the grid) and meet network technical specs.
Q5. How long does the WA battery rebate process take?
Once your approved installer submits your claim, the WA Government and Plenti typically take a few weeks to a few months to process it. You\u2019ll see the rebate amount settled with the installer shortly after installation (mostly within 1\u20133 months). The no-interest loan approval can also take a similar timeframe.<\/p>\n
