Frequently Asked Questions: Queensland Batteries

What battery rebates are available in Queensland?

Queensland's Battery Booster program closed in May 2024. QLD residents can now access the federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate (~$372/kWh, max $18,600) for VPP-capable batteries commissioned from July 2025.

Is Queensland solar too good for batteries to make sense?

Queensland's excellent solar (5.2+ daily sun hours) actually makes batteries MORE valuable. With feed-in tariffs now just 5-8c/kWh while retail is 25-32c/kWh, storing your solar saves 20c+ per kWh.

What battery size suits Queensland homes?

Queensland homes with good solar often benefit from larger batteries (13-20kWh) to maximise self-consumption. Air conditioning loads in summer evenings drive higher storage needs.
