From July 4, 2025, Western Australians will have a solid new reason to consider installing a home battery. Thanks to a joint push by the WA and Federal Governments, the WA Residential Battery Scheme is up and running—offering generous rebates and no-interest loans to make battery storage systems far more accessible to households across the state.
If you've already got solar panels on your roof, you know the story—plenty of energy while the sun's up, but once it dips below the horizon, you're drawing power from the grid again. That’s where home batteries come into play. The Fronius Reserva is one of the latest entrants in this space, designed to help you get more out of the solar energy you produce.
Thinking about jumping on the solar bandwagon or upgrading your existing setup? Well, there's good news for Victorians looking to go green without the guesswork. Solar Victoria has just rolled out its latest Notice to Market for 2025–26, and it's packed with updates designed to boost quality, strengthen consumer protections, and keep the clean energy transition humming along.
Australia is proudly leading the world when it comes to rooftop solar. More than 4 million homes—about one in three—now sport solar panels, soaking up the sun and turning it into clean electricity. But as the sun sets, so does solar production. That’s where home batteries step in.
