Battery rebate election promise - MASH: Community Solar

More big news for solar homes! The Daniel Andrews Government announced on 10 September 2018 that it will subsidise the cost of home battery storage by almost $5,000 if re-elected. This would only be for households that ALREADY have solar.

Possibly the first Powerwall battery on Barker Street Castlemaine. Installed day after the Daniel Andrews’ announcement about solar battery rebate, if they are re-elected. Mike Thorbeke the proud owner of this shiny new Powerwall installed through the MASH community solar bulk-buy says, “We did it because we want to make and store our own electricity. It’s about cutting our electricity bills as we head towards retirement.”

To be eligible, applicants will have to be owner-occupiers of a house worth less than $3 million and with an annual household income of less than $180,000.

There will be no “double dipping”, the government says, with only existing solar users able to claim the subsidy for the batteries.
