Three Rebates You Can Claim in 2026
The May 1st STC reset has come and gone — but rebates are still very much on the table. Here's what's available right now.
Federal Battery Rebate (CHBP)
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is live nationally — currently about $258 per kWh of usable capacity for the first 14 kWh, tapering above. It next drops on 1 January 2027, based on the installation date.
Victorian Incentives
Solar Victoria programs can stack on top of the federal rebates for eligible Victorian homeowners. Availability changes, so check what's open before you sign.

From the founder
“I started Rebate Spy because I watched my own family get burned by a shady installer quote.”
Most rebate sites are owned by installers. We aren't. We don't sell your number to call centres, and we only recommend installers who meet our standards.
