Energy Independence and Sustainable Living
As energy costs continue to rise and the push for sustainable living grows stronger, now is the perfect time for households in Western Australia to invest in battery storage systems. With the introduction of the WA Residential Battery Scheme and the Federal Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program, residents can access generous rebates and interest-free loans, making the transition to energy independence more affordable than ever.
Financial Incentives
Exciting news for homeowners! The Federal Government has just launched a new rebate “Cheaper Home Batteries” program on July 1st, 2025, providing financial assistance for battery systems. This rebate is available for systems up to 50 kWh, covering approximately 30% of the cost without the requirement to sign up for a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). The rebate is awarded via battery ‘STCs’ using the same framework as solar panel rebates.
State rebates may also be available in your area. The WA Solar Battery Rebate offers eligible households financial assistance capped at $1,300, provided they join the Synergy VPP. Importantly, you can claim either or both of these rebates, as they are stackable, maximising your savings when investing in iStore products.
And the NSW Government have announced an increased incentive up to $1500 to encourage more households and small businesses to adopt batteries. Like the WA program, there is a requirement to sign up to a VPP.
By investing in iStore products, you can save on average $3,000 per year on energy bills with an iStore solar and battery system, while also reducing your hot water heating costs by up to 70%.

iStore Batteries: Our smart battery systems are available in a wide range of capacities from 5 kWh to 60 kWh, allowing you to choose the size that best fits your current energy needs.

Exceptional Australian-Based Support
iStore is committed to providing timely and comprehensive support to our customers. Our Australian-based team is dedicated to ensuring that you receive the assistance you need, from initial inquiries to after-sales service. This commitment to customer care sets us apart and ensures that you can rely on us for all your energy needs.
How to Get Started
Assess Your Current Setup: Gather data from your electricity bills and work with an accredited installer to determine what size battery is right for your household.
Choose iStore Products: Our batteries are modular allowing you to expand as you grow. Think big as most rebates are one time only – after you have used your battery STCs rebate you can’t claim another rebate for the same address. Since the federal rebate is calculated on the size of your battery, it makes sense to take the opportunity to future proof your home by factoring in any expected energy increases in the future (think growing your family, getting an EV etc).
Get Professional Installation: Work with a Clean Energy Council (NETCC) accredited installer to ensure compliance and eligibility for rebates.
Submit Your Application: Apply for the WA Solar Battery Rebate through the official government portal.
Conclusion
Investing in iStore batteries and our product line-up is not just a smart financial decision; it’s a step towards a more sustainable future. With our comprehensive range of compatible products, financial support available through government rebates, and exceptional Australian-based support, there has never been a better time to make the switch to energy independence.
