Queenslanders Can Now Save Big with the New Solar Battery Program
The Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program is rolling out in Queensland — and it’s a game-changer for homes and businesses alike. With rebates and low-interest loans available, you can finally add a solar battery system without the hefty upfront cost. Whether you’re powering a household or a commercial site, this program helps you cut energy bills, store excess solar, and reduce reliance on the grid. Find out how your Queensland property can benefit — before demand surges.
Hey Queensland! It’s the Perfect Time for Solar Storage
More than half of all Queensland households have already installed solar panels on their rooftops. In fact, we’re the top adopter! 50.2% of houses in our state had solar panels installed in 2025.
However, when it comes to solar batteries installed, we’re lagging far behind. Only 0.9% of Queensland homes in 2024 had both solar panels and a solar battery installed. The biggest adopters? The ACT at 2.6% and the NT at 2.5%.
Now with the new added assistance from the Government through the Federal ‘Cheaper Home Batteries Rebate,’ there’s more help than ever to overcome the biggest obstacle for solar battery adoption: PRICE.
The Latest Changes Mean:
- You could save around 30% on the initial cost of a new solar battery installation (product and installation included!)
- Homes with existing solar panel systems can now save an additional $1,100 off their annual power bill
- Homes with no existing solar system can save up to $2,300 annually, from installing a new solar panel and battery system
- This new change pushes down battery payback periods in Queensland (meaning your solar battery will pay itself off, and then some – much sooner!)

Battery Tech Features - What They Mean and How to Compare
Reading through all the technical terms in each individual solar battery datasheet can feel overwhelming.
Here’s what matters most:
- Usable Capacity (kWh): How much energy the battery can actually store and deliver.
- Depth of Discharge (DoD): The percentage of the battery’s energy you can safely use without shortening its life. Higher DoD = more usable energy.
- Cycle Life: The number of times a battery can be charged and discharged before its capacity significantly reduces. A higher cycle life = better long-term value.
- Round Trip Efficiency: How much energy you get back compared to what you put in. Higher efficiency = less wasted energy.
- Warranty: Most reputable batteries come with a 10-year warranty, but conditions vary, so always check.

Even the best battery can underperform if it’s not installed correctly. That’s why working with a trusted installer like Snap Solar matters. Our team ensures:
- Your system is sized correctly to meet your household energy needs.

Solar Battery Installation Services in Queensland
New Solar System with Solar Storage
If you’re starting fresh, a hybrid solar system in Queensland is the smartest way to future-proof your home. These systems combine solar panels and a battery from day one, so you can generate and store your own clean energy without relying heavily on the grid. A new solar + battery system means:
- Bigger savings from day one — no waiting years to retrofit.
- Protection from Queensland’s frequent blackouts.
- Eligibility for new Federal rebates that bring the upfront cost down dramatically.
We design hybrid systems around your household’s actual energy use, so you’re not overpaying for capacity you don’t need — or underinvesting in a system that won’t cover your lifestyle.
Retrofitting a Solar Battery onto an Existing Solar System
Already have solar panels? Adding a battery is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. Retrofitting allows you to:
- Capture and store the excess solar power your panels are already producing.
- Reduce reliance on costly evening electricity rates.
- Unlock new rebate opportunities without replacing your existing panels.
Our team carefully checks your current inverter and system setup to ensure compatibility and can recommend the right battery brands to match your needs. With the right retrofit, you’ll turn an already good investment into a great one.
Add More Solar Battery Storage to an Existing Solar Panel + Battery System
For some households, one battery just isn’t enough. Maybe your energy needs have grown, or maybe you want to take full advantage of Queensland’s new rebates. Whatever the reason, Snap Solar makes it easy to expand your system with additional battery storage.
- Scale up seamlessly with modular systems like BYD or Sungrow.
- Ensure larger households or high-energy appliances are fully covered.
- Increase your blackout protection and lower your reliance on the grid even further.
We’ll assess your existing setup and advise on the most cost-effective way to expand without unnecessary replacements or upgrades.

It’s More Than Power Bill Savings…
When most people think of solar batteries, they think of lower electricity bills. And while that’s true, the real value goes far beyond your quarterly statement. A solar battery gives you something money alone can’t buy: control over your own energy.
Reduce Reliance on the Grid
Queensland households know the grid isn’t always reliable — especially during storms or peak demand periods. With a solar battery, you can cut down your dependence on the grid, protect yourself from rising electricity prices, and keep your home running smoothly even when others go without. It’s not just a saving — it’s a safeguard.
Night-time Solar Power Storage
Solar panels work best during the day, but most homes use the most power at night. A battery bridges that gap by storing your excess daytime energy and making it available when you actually need it — after the sun goes down. That means lights, appliances, and even air conditioning powered by your own clean energy, instead of expensive grid electricity.
Blackout Protection
When the grid goes down, a battery-backed solar system keeps the essentials on. That means your fridge, Wi-Fi, lights, and devices keep working — so you’re not left in the dark. With brands like Tesla, BYD, and Sungrow offering seamless automatic backup, you don’t have to lift a finger when an outage happens — your system simply takes over.
With Snap Solar, you’re not only investing in lower bills — you’re investing in resilience, independence, and a home that’s powered on your terms.
