Western Australia solar battery calculator & rebates

Every Australian state and territory can access the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program in 2026 (about $252/kWh on the first 14 kWh of usable capacity, tapering above that). Figures verified as of July 2026.

Western Australia is one of the few states where a state battery rebate still stacks with the federal program.

Most Perth and south-west homes on Synergy receive $1,300 from the WA Residential Battery Scheme; Horizon Power customers in regional WA may receive up to $3,800.
