If you’re thinking about adding a battery to your home or business, now is an excellent time to act. The new government Home Battery Subsidy makes battery storage more affordable than ever across the Sunshine Coast.
What is the Battery Subsidy?
The Home Battery Subsidy provides an approximately 30% discount on eligible battery systems.
It is not means-tested and is available to:
- Households
- Businesses
- Community facilities such as sports clubs, halls and community centres
This makes it easier for more Australians to store solar energy, reduce reliance on the grid and cut power bills.
It won’t be means-tested and offers an approximately 30 per cent discount on batteries for households, businesses and community facilities such as sports centres or town halls. [SRC: ABC]

What is the right size battery for my home?
Every property is different, and the right battery depends on how and when you use electricity. However, recent research by the Smart Energy Council shows that most households need a smaller battery than they expect.
To avoid drawing power during the expensive evening peak:
- Over 90% of households could manage with a 6–7kWh battery
- Many popular battery systems on the market are around 13kWh, which is often more than required
A correctly sized battery can deliver excellent savings without unnecessary upfront cost.
If you’re unsure what size is right for your home or business, our experienced team can assess your usage and recommend a solution that makes sense for you.
How do I get the subsidy?
When you purchase your battery through Noosa Electric Co., the subsidy will be applied directly to your quote, so you’ll see the reduced price upfront. We handle the process for you, making it simple and hassle-free.
When can I get a subsidised battery?
