The July rebate rush has caught most of the industry off guard. In this episode of Solar Outsiders, Alan Kemp speaks with Lewis from Go Solar. He breaks down exactly what’s happening behind the scenes — and what batteries and inverters are still available. Why Stock Is So Tight Right Now The federal government dropped the solar battery rebate bomb in April and May. But details were unclear. Retailers didn’t have enough time to plan. Some sold systems under one rebate amount, only to later learn it was lowered. For example: WA originally had a $5,000 rebate for 20,000 homes This was cut to $1,300 for 100,000 homes NSW replaced the rebate with a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) incentive This has caused confusion, cancellations, and panic buying.

Solar Battery Storage / April 11, 2025

2025 Labor Battery Rebate Scam The 2025 Smart Energy Conference in Sydney kicked off with all the fanfare you’d expect from an industry on the rise. New booths. New tech. New money. And politics, of course. The federal government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program was the centrepiece — a headline-grabbing announcement dropped by Labor’s Energy Minister on a Sunday morning, then brought to life the following day in a packed hall filled with installers, suppliers, and solar executives like myself.
