In this episode of Solar Samurai, Tommy and Yury break down everything you need to know about the new government battery rebates starting July 1st. They explain how the $2.3 billion funding will slash battery installation costs by up to 55%, who qualifies, including residential and commercial customers, and the important limits on battery sizes and compatibility.

Discover why choosing the right installer matters more than ever to safely claim your rebate, how you can stack federal, state, and local council discounts (like Randwick Council’s $1,000 rebate), and why the bigger your battery, the bigger your savings. They also share insider tips on why batteries need to be VPP (Virtual Power Plant) ready to benefit your community and your wallet.

Don’t miss this clear, no-nonsense guide to saving thousands on your solar battery and future-proofing your energy independence before rebates start to decline after 2024.
