The QLD Government has launched their Battery Booster program, an initiative designed for Queensland residents with a rebate of $3,000 and $4000 off a solar battery. You can add a battery to your existing solar system or have a new solar and battery system installed.
Island Energy is an approved installer of the Queensland Governments Rebate program and you can verify this on the QLD governments website here.

You’ll need to include: - The invoice - Proof of property ownership (rates notice, contract of sale, or building contract). - Income evidence via notice(s) of assessment from the Australian Tax Office for the last financial year.After completing the above, if still eligible, you’ll receive a letter confirming your approved application.
