Don’t Wait - Secure Your WA Battery Rebate Now!
Why You Shouldn’t Wait Until July to Invest in Solar and Batteries
The WA Battery Rebate announcement has sparked immense interest, with thousands of homeowners considering solar and battery storage. While the rebate is an exciting opportunity, waiting until July 1st to make a decision could be a costly mistake. Here’s why acting now is the smartest move for homeowners looking to maximise their savings and secure a battery system before demand skyrockets.
1. Limited Rebates Available – Act Before They’re Gone
The WA government has allocated $387 million to the battery rebate program, but only a fraction of this will be available directly to homeowners. Based on estimates, only 20,000 to 25,000 rebates will be available, and once they’re claimed, they’re gone for good. Given that over 507,000 WA homes already have solar installed, demand will far exceed supply.
Could you imagine that all the homes who already have a solar system installed apply for the WA Battery Rebate, (lets say there will be 22,500 Wa Battery Rebates available) ONLY 4.4% of these homes would get acces to the Battery Rebate!
That means there will be a lot of dissappointed homeowners out there. Please do not let it be you that misses out. Act NOW to secure your WA Battery Rebate.
2. Massive Installation Delays Expected
Solar companies across WA are already preparing for an unprecedented rush as soon as the rebate becomes available. We have been in contact with several of the large and trusted solar companies in WA and they are saying, based on their calculations, even if they dedicated all their installation teams exclusively to batteries, it would still take over 10 weeks just to fulfill existing customer interest.
For homeowners who wait until July to sign up, the wait for installation could easily extend well beyond three to four months, meaning higher power bills and more lost savings in the meantime.
3. Avoid Price Increases and Supply Shortages
When high demand meets limited supply, prices increase, it’s simple economics. We’ve seen this happen before with government incentives, such as the COVID-era home building grants, where builders raised their prices, and homeowners saw little to no actual benefit.
If you lock in your solar and battery system before July, you’ll secure today’s prices and avoid potential price hikes from manufacturers or suppliers once demand surges.
Act quickly though as we’ve heard there will be severe supply issues, manufacturers have been asking for pre-orders now! So get in quick so you don’t miss out.
4. Be First in Line for the Rebate
By installing a hybrid-ready system now, you’ll be at the front of the queue when the rebate officially kicks in. You’ll also avoid the long application delays as Western Power require technical assessments for new installations. Normally a ‘solar and battery’ application goes into technical review, which can take up to 15 business days to receive approval to operate.
However, if your system is already installed, adding a battery later is a simple and fast plug-and-play process.
Typically, with a 5kW inverter, you can install up to 6.6kW of solar panels due to the 133% oversizing rule. However, by adding a DC-coupled battery, you can go beyond this limit, allowing for even more solar generation, depending on the inverter manufacturer’s recommendations.
The best part? If you choose to add more panels when you install your battery later, you can still take advantage of Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs), a government incentive that helps reduce the upfront cost of your system. That means more savings and more energy independence for your home!
5. Limited-Time Industry Offers – Don’t Miss Out
Across the WA solar industry, some companies are offering exclusive but limited-time deals in anticipation of the rebate rush. We’ve heard of installers providing incredible discounts on hybrid systems, designed to be battery-ready. while also offering their own battery vouchers on top of the WA government $5000 rebate. However, these specials are available in limited volumes, so acting quickly is essential.
By securing one of these exclusive offers now, you lock in the best price and ensure that your system is ready to go. Many companies can even pre-order your products, guaranteeing they arrive in time for July 1st. If you need help connecting with these deals, we can assist but don’t wait until it’s too late!
