Save Big This Christmas with a Solar Battery and Federal Support

This year, there’s a smarter way to take control of your energy, by taking advantage of a Christmas solar battery deal backed by the new cheaper home batteries program. And with Australia’s renewed push toward renewable energy, homeowners can now save big with both federal support and Sunboost’s limited-time Christmas offers. 

As one of Australia’s most trusted solar retailers, Sunboost is bringing exclusive holiday deals designed to help households lock in long-term savings before the year ends. 

Why Install a Solar Battery This Christmas? 

If you already have solar panels, the next logical upgrade is a battery. And Christmas is the ideal time to do it, here’s why: 

1. Summer power bills are at their peak 

Led lights, guests, and air-conditioning can easily push your daily energy usage to the limit. A solar battery stores your excess daytime solar power, so you can run your home at night without relying heavily on expensive grid electricity. 

2. Protect yourself from holiday blackouts 

Summer storms can cause sudden outages. A battery ensures you have backup power for fridges, lighting, medical equipment, and essential appliances. 

3. You avoid wasting your solar power 

Feed-in tariffs (FiTs) continue to drop across the country. A battery lets you divert your excess solar energy into storage instead of exporting it for only a few cents. 

4. You prepare your home for long-term savings 

Installing during Christmas means your battery is fully operational by January, right when the hottest days and highest power bills hit. 

Simply put: A battery helps your home stay cool, powered, and efficient throughout the Christmas and summer months. 

How Does the Federal Battery Rebate Work? 

Australia’s new cheaper home batteries program, part of the updated SRES framework, makes solar batteries significantly more affordable. According to the Clean Energy Regulator, the program applies from 1 July 2025 and offers a generous financial incentive on eligible battery installations. 

Here’s how it works: 

Up to ~30% off the cost of a solar battery 

The federal program issues certificates based on the battery’s capacity and performance. These certificates translate into point-of-sale discounts for homeowners, meaning your upfront cost is instantly reduced. 

Applies to batteries from 5kWh to 100kWh 

Whether you're adding a small battery for essential night-time use or a large system for full home coverage, most homeowners meet eligibility requirements. 

Must be installed by an accredited supplier 

Sunboost works only with SAA-accredited installers, ensuring you qualify for federal incentives. 

Available for new and existing solar homes 

If you have solar panels already, you can add a battery. 

If you’re installing a full system, you can claim incentives on the new battery. 

This makes the Christmas solar battery deal even more attractive; Sunboost’s holiday discounts stack on top of federal benefits.
