Federal Battery Rebate in Bendigo
Federal Battery Rebate Now Available for Bendigo & Central Victoria Homes
As of 1st July 2025, the Federal Battery Rebate is now live — giving eligible households in Bendigo and surrounding areas the opportunity to save up to 30% on the cost of a home battery system.
If you already have solar panels installed or are planning to go solar soon, this rebate makes it significantly more affordable to add solar battery storage to your system. That means more control over your energy, lower power bills, and backup protection during blackouts and peak demand periods.
At Sunergy Solar, we’re proud to help homeowners across Central Victoria take full advantage of this rebate. From handling the rebate application process to installing reliable, high-efficiency battery systems, our team makes it simple to store your solar energy and use it when you need it most — at night, on cloudy days, or when the grid goes down.
This is a limited-funding program, and it’s available now — no need to wait.

What Is the Federal Battery Rebate?
The Federal Battery Rebate is a game-changer for households in Bendigo and across Central Victoria, helping to reduce the upfront cost of installing a home solar battery system. Whether you’re looking to add storage to an existing solar system or install solar panels and a battery together, this rebate makes solar energy storage more affordable and accessible.

Who’s Eligible for the Federal Battery Rebate in Bendigo and Central Victoria?
If you live in Bendigo, Strathfieldsaye, Kangaroo Flat, Eaglehawk, or anywhere across Central Victoria, you could be eligible for the new Federal Battery Rebate — especially if you already have a solar power system connected to the grid.

Federal Battery Rebate Eligibility Checklist for Victoria
To qualify for the rebate, most homeowners will need to meet the following criteria:
- You own or live at the property where the battery will be installed
- Your existing or new solar panel system is grid-connected and meets Australian standards
- Your battery system is installed by an approved installer like Sunergy Solar
- The battery must be VPP-ready (Virtual Power Plant capable), though joining a VPP is optional
Already have solar and thinking about adding a battery? You likely tick most of the boxes.
Not Sure If You Qualify? We Can Help.
At Sunergy Solar, we’ll help you confirm your eligibility, recommend the right battery size and brand (like BYD, Tesla, Sungrow or Franklin), and handle the rebate paperwork from start to finish — so you don’t miss out.


Can Off-Grid Solar Systems Access the Federal Battery Rebate?
Yes — off-grid solar systems in Central Victoria may still qualify for the Federal Battery Rebate, provided they meet the required safety, technical, and installation standards set by the program.
This is fantastic news for rural properties, farms, and remote households across the Bendigo region — including areas like Heathcote, Harcourt, Axedale, Elmore, Maldon, and Castlemaine — where grid access is limited, unreliable, or unavailable.
For example, a 40kWh off-grid battery system could potentially receive up to $16,000 in rebates, depending on your setup and the final rebate structure. That’s a huge step forward in making solar self-sufficiency more affordable for larger rural homes and agribusinesses.

Battery Rebate Scams: What Bendigo Homeowners Need to Watch For
With the Federal Battery Rebate now active, some homeowners across Bendigo and Central Victoria are being targeted by companies offering “too-good-to-be-true” battery deals. Many of these operators use high-pressure tactics or make vague promises about rebates — without delivering quality systems or local support.
If you’ve been contacted by a company offering a “limited-time battery rebate” or pushing for a fast decision, it pays to pause and verify the details.
Red Flags to Watch Out For:
- Pushy salespeople pressuring you to sign on the spot

- No genuine local presence — just sales reps from interstate or overseas
- Unrealistically cheap battery prices with no mention of accreditation or product quality
- Claims about rebates without confirming your eligibility or compliance
