Homes across Melbourne’s south-east — including Clyde in the City of Casey (VIC 3978), Lyndhurst in Greater Dandenong (VIC 3975), and Officer in the City of Cardinia (VIC 3809) — are among the most active suburbs for battery installations before Victoria’s STC reduction deadline. Green Electric Solutions has completed hundreds of battery upgrades across these and other Melbourne LGAs in 2026, securing an average of $12,000–$17,000 in rebates per installation for homes pairing 10kW–16kW solar with 40kWh–51kWh battery storage. After the April 2026 deadline, the STC multiplier stepped down — a 45kWh battery that previously attracted $11,070 in STCs now receives significantly less. Our VEU-approved, NET-approved, SAA-certified team based in Altona handles your entire installation and rebate lodgement end-to-end, so you don’t need to navigate the paperwork alone.
Back in November 2025, we warned the community about upcoming reductions in battery incentives (read our previous advisory here). Hundreds of Victorians signed up with us and installed their systems in time, saving thousands of dollars in rebates. The lesson is clear: early action pays off.
Why the Battery Rebate is Dropping After April 2026
The Victorian government’s battery rebate program is designed to encourage early adoption of clean energy, but rebates reduce as the scheme matures. After April 2026:
- The STC value per kWh of battery installed will decrease.
- Larger systems will receive proportionally fewer rebates.
- Delaying your installation could cost you thousands in lost incentives.
Using our Victorian Battery Rebate Calculator, you can estimate your potential savings before making a decision. Take a look at the following difference for a 45kWh solar battery:
If you install a solar battery after May 2026, you could lose approximately $7,380 in rebates.
