SOLAR REBATES & SAVINGS

Solar Rebates In South East QLD

If you’re considering solar in Brisbane, Logan or the Gold Coast, there are still major incentives available that can significantly reduce upfront costs and improve long-term savings.

What Rebates Are Actually Available?

The main rebate currently available across South East Queensland is the federal Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) subsidy. This is commonly referred to as the solar rebate and is usually already applied as an upfront discount in most quotes.

Depending on system size and install timing, this can reduce the installation cost by roughly 20–25%. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Battery Rebates In 2026

A major update for Queensland homeowners is the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which currently provides around a 30% upfront discount on eligible battery systems.

Important: rebate values step down over time, and there are scheduled changes from May 2026. Acting sooner may mean a better discount. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Feed-In Tariffs In South East QLD

Feed-in tariffs are not fixed by the Queensland government for SEQ. They are offered by electricity retailers and usually range from around 5c–12c per kWh, depending on the plan and provider.

This means system design and battery readiness are often more important than chasing the highest tariff alone. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Honest Advice Before You Buy

Solar should not be sold on rebates alone. The real long-term value comes from correct system sizing, roof orientation, daytime usage, and battery compatibility.

A properly designed system with a slightly lower rebate can still outperform a cheaper “rebate-heavy” system.
