The Australian Government’s announcement of a cheaper home battery scheme could not have come at a better time for the Fraser Coast. As power prices continue to rise and climate concerns intensify, this policy signals a meaningful shift toward more affordable, resilient, and sustainable energy for households – particularly in regional areas like ours.
Under the scheme, eligible households will receive subsidies to install home batteries, enabling them to store excess solar power and use it when the sun is not shining. For the Fraser Coast, already a leader in rooftop solar uptake – this is a game-changer. We have the sunshine. Now, with help from the government, we will have the tools to capture and store that energy efficiently, reducing our dependence on the grid and lowering electricity bills.
But this is about more than just savings. It is about energy independence. Regional Queensland communities often bear the brunt of outages and infrastructure lag. Battery storage brings security and stability critical as extreme weather events become more frequent. It also reduces strain on the grid, meaning a more reliable energy supply for everyone.
Of course, the success of the scheme depends on local accessibility, clear information streamlined application processes, and partnership with a trusted local installer like First Choice Solar. We are here based in Maryborough with full time employees for continued service and support.
With most systems it is necessary to change your inverter to a hybrid inverter for better functionality and continual back up power during a power fail. As a show special we are offering $1000 trade in for your old grid tie inverter.
Come and have a discussion with us at Fraser Coast Outdoor Adventure plus Home & Lifestyle Expo 2025 at Site OS213 and discover how we can help you lower your electricity bills.
