Tired of giving your daytime solar power away to Synergy for practically nothing, only to buy it back at premium evening rates? We install CEC-approved solar batteries engineered to power your Perth home through the night. With the latest federal battery program updates now active, we’ll help you navigate state and federal incentives to significantly reduce your upfront installation costs. No high-pressure sales—just honest advice and local trade specialists.

During sweltering Perth heatwaves, household air conditioning drives evening electricity consumption through the roof. Unfortunately, exporting your excess daytime solar back to the Western Power grid on Synergy’s low Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme (DEBS) rates offers very little financial return compared to the expensive evening tariff blocks you get hit with after the sun goes down. Capturing your own solar power allows you to bypass these evening peak rates completely.
Because we are local battery installers, we know exactly how Western Australia’s specific microclimate affects outdoor electrical hardware. From ensuring thermal management systems can handle dry 40°C+ summer days to managing strict salt-mist corrosion requirements for coastal properties dealing with the “Fremantle Doctor” sea breeze, we ensure your investment is built to last.
If you have been researching battery costs, it is vital to understand how the current incentive structures work.
As of 1 May 2026, the Australian Government, guided by the Clean Energy Regulator, updated the federal battery incentives under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. The program now uses a “tiered” STC (Small-scale Technology Certificate) system designed to reward households that install correctly sized batteries rather than needlessly oversized ones.
Here is how the federal STC battery tier structure currently applies:
The Sweet Spot (0 to 14 kWh): Receives 100% of the STC factor.
Oversized (14 to 28 kWh): The STC factor drops to 60% for this extra capacity.
Massive (28 to 50 kWh): The STC factor drops to 15% for the remaining capacity.
What does this mean for you?
A standard 10kWh to 13.5kWh battery is highly efficient for claiming these incentives.
Additionally, Perth homeowners have a major advantage. Eligible battery systems qualify for the WA Residential Battery Scheme, providing Synergy customers with up to $1,300 in state rebates to significantly reduce upfront installation costs. By connecting a compatible battery to an approved Virtual Power Plant (VPP), such as Synergy Battery Rewards, you can combine these state-level rewards with the federal STC allocation. Eligible households can even access the scheme’s zero-interest loans of up to $10,000. We handle all this complex paperwork on your behalf to ensure you receive every incentive you are entitled to.
We refuse to install cheap, unproven batteries that pose thermal risks or carry weak warranties. We only supply the best solar batteries in Perth, prioritizing safe LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) chemistry, heavy-duty weatherproofing, and seamless blackout backup power.

How much does a solar battery cost in Perth in 2026?
Eligible battery systems may qualify for federal and state incentives that can significantly reduce upfront installation costs. Exact pricing depends on your chosen battery brand, its total capacity, whether your existing solar setup is hybrid-ready, and if your switchboard requires mandatory safety upgrades. We provide a completely free site check to give you a tailored quote.
What size battery is best under the new rebate rules?
Under the federal guidelines updated on 1 May 2026, a battery between 10kWh and 14kWh is often the most financially efficient choice. The government provides the maximum 100% STC allocation for the first 14kWh of capacity. If you go larger than 14kWh, the allocation factor drops to 60% for the extra capacity, which can reduce your overall return on investment.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?
Absolutely. We specialize in retrofitting batteries to existing solar arrays. We typically use an AC-coupled battery which operates independently of your older solar inverter, making it incredibly easy to add storage to a home that already has panels on the roof.
Will a battery protect my home during a blackout?
Yes, but only if it is wired correctly. Standard solar panels turn off during a grid blackout for safety reasons. When we install your battery, we can wire in a dedicated “backup circuit” so that your essential appliances, lights, and Wi-Fi continue running seamlessly during a network outage.
