What You Need To Know:

The Western Australian Government is making it easier for households to access clean energy solutions with the WA Residential Battery Scheme. Through this program, eligible households can apply for Interest-Free Loans for Solar Battery Systems of up to $10,000 to help fund battery storage and solar upgrades

How Interest-Free Loans for Solar Battery Systems Works

The scheme is administered by Plenti and designed to support more households in adopting battery technology across WA.

• Loan Amount: $2,001 – $10,000
• Loan Term: 3 to 10 years
• Eligibility: Household income under $210,000
• Covers: Battery systems, hybrid inverters, and solar panels (when bundled with a battery)

This means you can install a new battery system, replace an old one, or bundle solar panels with storage — all without paying interest.

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for the interest-free loan, you’ll need to meet certain requirements:

• Be 18+ and a permanent resident of Australia
• Live in WA and be a Synergy or Horizon Power customer
• Own or rent your property (with landlord approval if renting)
• Install a new or replacement battery system with at least 5kWh usable capacity
• Use only approved products and accredited vendors listed by Plenti
• Connect your battery to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)

What Can the Loan Cover?

The WA Residential Battery Scheme is designed to make energy storage more affordable and flexible. Eligible households can use the loan for:

• Battery-only systems
• Combined solar + battery packages
• Replacement or new solar panels (when bundled with a battery)

Choosing the Right Solar Battery System

Not every solar battery is eligible for the WA rebate and loan. To qualify, you must choose a CEC-approved battery system that suits your household’s energy needs. Popular options include:
