Battery Booster rebate for householders
Program closed
The Battery Booster program has now closed. Rebates are no longer available.
The Battery Booster program provided rebates for Queenslanders to buy and install a home battery system.
Safety has been a priority of the program—rebates were only available to eligible Queensland households who selected an Approved Battery System and used an Approved Installer.
All installations funded under the program are being inspected to ensure they meet the required safety and compliance standards and regulations.
Scam alert
We are aware of phone calls and websites by third parties about the Battery Booster program that are fraudulent or misleading.
Always make sure you read about Queensland energy rebates on a legitimate Queensland Government website that includes qld.gov.au in its web address. We do not make unsolicited phone calls about energy rebate programs.
Home battery systems
Installing a home battery system might not make financial sense for all households. Learn more about battery systems to:
- understand whether they are right for you
- plan the right one for your home.
Safety and compliance
Global Sustainable Energy Solutions Pty Ltd (GSES) has been appointed as the official Program Inspectorate. The main aim of the inspections is to confirm that the systems are safe and encourage improved installation quality and best practice.
The inspectorate conducts solar and battery storage compliance inspections on installed Approved Battery Systems at no cost to customers. When applying for the rebate, applicants were asked to agree to this free safety inspection.
Once the homeowner receives a rebate, the inspectorate schedules a free and comprehensive inspection of the Battery Booster installation as well as a free safety check of the rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
Inspections have started and are expected to continue into early 2025.
For more information about the inspection process, visit the GSES website.
