AVAILABLE PROGRAMS
Understanding Government Incentives
Solar panel incentives, battery incentives and no-interest loans are separate forms of support. Eligibility and the amount available depend on the relevant scheme and your installation.
Federal Solar Panel Incentives
Australia’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme helps reduce the cost of eligible solar panel systems through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs).
For eligible systems, the value is commonly reflected as an upfront discount in your quote. The amount depends on factors such as system size, location and installation date.
Federal Battery Incentives
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program supports eligible battery installations. Discounts vary based on usable battery capacity, installation date and applicable rules.
We’ll help you understand which options may suit your property and how the relevant incentive may affect your quote.
WA Residential Battery Scheme
Up to $1,300 for eligible Synergy customers under the WA Residential Battery Scheme. Eligible Horizon Power customers may receive a different rebate amount. No-interest loan support may also be available, subject to requirements.
Conditions include the electricity retailer, approved products and installers, Virtual Power Plant participation, and income and lending criteria for loans.

KNOW BEFORE YOU QUOTE
How Are Incentives Calculated?
There is no single rebate amount that applies to every solar or battery installation. Your quote should reflect the scheme rules relevant to your proposed system.
- Solar system size or battery usable capacity
- Property location and electricity provider
- Approved equipment and installer requirements
- Program eligibility and participation conditions
- Installation date and applicable scheme rules
BUILT FOR LONG-TERM VALUE
Is Solar Worth It Without a Rebate?
Solar can still deliver value without additional government assistance by generating electricity on your property and potentially reducing grid purchases.
Your actual savings and return on investment depend on electricity tariffs, usage, solar generation, equipment, installation costs and other site-specific factors.
Electric Cool Geraldton focuses on practical solutions suited to your energy needs, not rebate promises.

Frequently Asked Questions
What government incentives are available for solar panels in Australia?
Eligible solar panel installations may receive support through the Australian Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. The value is commonly reflected as a discount in the installation quote.
Are government rebates available for solar batteries?
Yes. Eligible battery installations may qualify for federal incentives. Some Western Australian households may also qualify for support under the WA Residential Battery Scheme.
How much can I save with a solar or battery rebate?
The amount varies with the relevant program, system specifications, installation date and eligibility. We can help review incentives relevant to your proposed installation.
Can I combine financing with government incentives?
Some eligible customers may be able to combine an approved finance arrangement with applicable incentives. Loan availability and terms depend on the program and individual eligibility. Not all solar projects qualify.
Does the installation date affect my rebate?
Yes. Federal battery incentives are calculated using the installation date rather than the date you accept the quote. Other schemes may have their own timing requirements.
Can I install solar now and add a battery later?
Often, yes. It depends on your existing system, inverter compatibility and property setup. Any future battery incentive eligibility must be assessed separately.
