WITH energy costs continuing to rise and battery rebates set to reduce from May 2026, Future NRG is encouraging homeowners to seriously consider installing a home battery sooner rather than later.
Generous battery rebates of up to $300 per kilowatt-hour are currently available, but this support won’t last. From 1 May 2026, rebate levels are expected to drop significantly, with further reductions every six months. For households thinking about upgrading their solar system or adding battery storage, timing could make a substantial difference to overall installation costs.
A home battery allows households to store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it during peak pricing periods in the evening. According to Future NRG, this reduces reliance on the grid and helps homeowners maximise the value of the solar power they already produce. Over time, savings on electricity bills can be considerable, while added energy independence offers peace of mind.
As a local solar and energy solutions provider, Future NRG takes a tailored approach rather than offering one-size-fits-all systems. The team assesses each household’s energy usage, existing solar setup and future needs before recommending a battery solution designed to deliver long-term value. This personalised process also helps customers navigate rebate eligibility and access the maximum financial support available.
With installation demand expected to increase ahead of the May 2026 rebate reduction, Future NRG advises homeowners to act early to improve their chances of having a system installed and commissioned before rebates fall.
Homeowners can visit Future NRG’s local office at 7957 Goulburn Valley Highway, Shepparton, explore options online at futurenrg.com.au or call 1300 359 894 to find out whether they are eligible for current battery rebates.
