The exact date the scheme will commence is yet to be announced, but the government has hinted that it will be rolled out next year.

Can’t speak for others, but I’ll be taking it up. We’ve got so much solar going to waste because we’re export limited for quite a bit of the day. The stuff we do export gets sold at a whopping 5 cents, which is well and truly offset by buying back in the evenings.

Last month we exported 1250kwh - and received $85 credit for our efforts. Be far better storing some of that for own use.

The Palaszczuk government has indicated it would give away millions of dollars in rebates for Queenslanders to install solar battery storage systems at their homes.

Under the program, rebates of up to $4,000 will be available to households, depending on income eligibility requirements.

While the government was yet to announce when the Battery Booster Rebate Scheme would kick off, Energy Minister Mick de Brenni indicated to ABC Radio Brisbane that it was due to begin next year.

    Of course, this will be the kicker:

    income eligibility requirements

    We seem to perpetually on the cusp of too “rich” to get any subsidies, but too poor to live without busting our chops. Woe is me.

      Seems generous enough though.

      (a)if the taxable income of the income earner for the application, for the most recently ended financial year, is $66,667 or less—$4,000; or

      (b)otherwise—$3,000.

      But if the combined income of the household is more than $180,000, you will not be eligible.
