The WA Government will introduce a battery rebate on or before 1st July 2025, as well as interest-free loans for low and middle-income households. Interest-free battery loans are available in Victoria.
At Plico, we aim to make solar batteries affordable and accessible for everyday Australians.
We have never relied on ‘battery rebates’ or ‘battery subsidies’ to achieve this.
That said, we will take full advantage of any solar and battery rebates available, to ensure our members always get the best price and increase their solar savings.
Currently, there is a misconception that solar batteries are too expensive, or the technology isn't quite there yet. That's just not true: battery technology is available now and more affordable than you think.
If you have already purchased or are paying off a solar battery, it's likely that you've made significant savings. By making the switch before rebates become available, you've started saving sooner than those who have chosen to wait for financial incentives.

Solar Rebates
The Clean Energy Regulator Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme offers Small-scale Technology Certificates (commonly known as STCs). These are certificates created for each new solar installation. They vary by location, installation date, and solar PV size.
STCs apply equally to solar-only installations and solar + battery installations. They are a core component of any solar offer in the market. They are not available for battery-only purchases.
