Starting from $6,250 Inc GST for a 30kWh Battery
Starting from $11,950 Inc GST for a 30kWh Battery
Starting from $18,050 Inc GST for a 32kWh Battery
Solar battery prices start from $6250 with our Hiconic battery range. All final costs may vary depending on the manufacturer, the size of your solar energy system, and your specific energy needs.
However, the more important consideration is the rebates currently available, which can significantly reduce the upfront investment.
To help you assess the potential savings, we have provided a clear summary in the table below. It illustrates the rebate values available for different battery sizes—highlighting why now is an ideal time to invest in a solar battery.
As of 1 July 2025, the Australian Government launched the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, offering eligible households, businesses and community organisations an upfront discount of around 30% on the cost of installing small-scale battery systems (under 100 kWh). Between 5kWh to 30kWh
This rebate aims to accelerate battery adoption by reducing upfront costs and will be delivered through accredited retailers and installers. The program extends the existing Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) to include batteries, ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards.
The discount will decrease over time and can be combined with other state-based incentives where eligible.
If you’re not ready for a solar battery just yet, Energy Makeovers can supply and install a solar energy system that’s battery-ready.
Designed to support a seamless upgrade when the time suits you. This future-proof approach enables you to benefit from solar savings now, while leaving the option to add storage to your system later without major system modifications.
It also positions you to take advantage of any future battery incentives or technological advancements as they become available.
Energy Makeovers offers a $0 upfront solution for installing solar batteries, making it easier to access clean energy without immediate out-of-pocket costs.
For those exploring other options, solar loans are also available through third-party lenders across Victoria, including major banks and green finance providers like Brighte and Plenti. These loans can help cover the full cost of installation with flexible repayment terms. Whether you choose a loan or Energy Makeovers’ $0 upfront option, there are pathways to start reducing your energy bills sooner.
We have information about green loans for solar solutions in our blog post, here.
Solar batteries and hot water heat pumps work efficiently together to maximise solar energy use and reduce reliance on the grid. During the day, excess solar power can be stored in a battery or directed to run an energy-efficient heat pump, which heats water using minimal electricity. This coordinated approach ensures solar energy is used when it is most abundant, lowering energy costs and increasing overall system efficiency.
Hot water heat pumps are eligible for rebates; you can find out more here.
Solar battery warranties vary by product but typically offer coverage for around 10 years or a specified number of charge and discharge cycles, whichever comes first.
These warranties are designed to guarantee a minimum level of performance over time, ensuring the battery retains a certain percentage of its original capacity throughout the warranty period. Details such as cycle life, capacity retention, and performance guarantees are outlined in the manufacturer’s documentation.
Energy Makeovers only supplies CEC-Approved batteries from reputable manufacturers, ensuring strong warranty support and long-term reliability.
There’s never been a better time. As we mentioned, The Cheaper Home Batteries discount will decrease over time. Don’t wait and miss out.
When your solar PV system generates enough energy to meet your daily needs and consistently charges your battery, it can lead to substantial reductions in electricity costs. In addition, participating in a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) allows you to sell excess stored energy back to the grid during peak demand periods, further increasing your energy savings and maximising the value of your solar investment.
A solar consultant can provide a tailored assessment of your energy needs by analysing your interval data—the detailed breakdown of your electricity usage throughout the day. This data, available from your electricity retailer or distribution network provider, helps identify usage patterns and determine the optimal solar and battery solution for your property.
Yes. Installing a larger battery system offers several long-term advantages. It enables you to sell more energy back to the grid during peak demand periods, enhancing your return through programs like Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). A larger capacity also means lower overall throughput, which can extend the battery’s lifespan and help maintain warranty coverage over a longer period. In the event of a grid outage, it allows you to power more appliances for longer. As the battery rebate is only available once, installing a larger system now means you can maximise your upfront rebate and avoid higher upgrade costs later.
Yes, a solar battery can enhance a property’s value, often by at least the amount of any available rebate.
Beyond the upfront financial benefit, it also adds long-term appeal by reducing energy bills, increasing energy independence, and improving overall energy efficiency. For prospective buyers, a battery system represents a modern, sustainable upgrade that can differentiate your property in a competitive market.
We have written before about how increasing your home’s energy efficiency can increase its value by as much as $100k+. Read more here.
Battery systems come with maximum capacity limits that vary by manufacturer. Depending on the brand and model, you can install a single unit or stack multiple batteries together to achieve a larger storage capacity. This modular approach allows you to customise the system size based on your energy needs, whether you require basic backup or a more comprehensive solution to support higher usage or future energy demands.
There are many variables for any property, including the size of the property, shade, energy use, etc. The best option is to talk to our solar energy experts, who will be able to analyse your individual circumstances and give a considered recommendation.
Yes – our battery systems offer an emergency power supply. You can back up either the entire house or selected circuits. Backing up specific circuits costs more upfront due to additional wiring, but it extends backup duration by limiting power to essential appliances. If you’re not sure which you’d want, our solar experts can help.
Yes – if you are retrofitting a battery to an existing solar system, you will need an additional inverter to support it. However, if you are installing a new system with a battery from the outset, a single hybrid inverter will suffice.
