1. What is the Solar Battery Rebate?

The Australian Federal Solar Battery Rebate provides financial incentives for households to install battery storage systems, offering up to $372 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of battery capacity.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the rebate formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Battery kWh} \) — Battery storage capacity in kilowatt-hours
• \( 372 \) — Rebate amount per kWh in Australian dollars
• \( \text{Eligible Cap} \) — Maximum rebate amount eligible for the household

Explanation: The rebate is calculated as $372 per kWh of battery capacity, but cannot exceed the eligible cap amount for the household.

3. Importance of Rebate Calculation

Details: Accurate rebate estimation helps households understand the financial benefits of installing battery storage systems and plan their renewable energy investments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your battery capacity in kWh and the eligible cap amount in dollars. Both values must be positive numbers.
