With electricity prices climbing steadily, household and business budgets are feeling the strain. Tapping into the 2026 government rebates lets you install an efficient solar battery system, so you can store the energy you generate, cut your reliance on the grid and keep energy costs under control.
As electricity prices climb, more homes and businesses are turning to government solar battery incentives. We make it simple to claim the 2026 rebates and install a high-efficiency solar battery system. Thanks to strong generation and dependable storage, you'll cut your reliance on the grid, trim ongoing energy bills and invest in a setup built for lasting performance and savings.
We don't push one brand. After we assess your site, energy use, switchboard, and backup goals, we recommend the battery that genuinely fits your property — home or business — not whatever's easiest to sell. Every system is installed by our CEC-accredited team with full compliance documentation and ongoing support after handover.

We’re so happy we used Australian Energy Upgrades for our Solar! They were thoroughly helpful and professional throughout the whole process and provided outstanding service.
We are glad we trusted AEU to conduct the organizational wide energy audit and also proud to have AEU implement all the solutions which were proposed from the audit.
Our new hot water service is running smoothly. Installation was efficient and customer service was excellent. Many thanks, David and Glennis Branagh
Fantastic service from 1st phone call to installation. Great unit (I upgraded to larger model) & fairly quiet. Have not run out of hot water since installed … best decision made!
Communication was clear and believable . Work carried out by tradies was quick and efficient and they turned up when they said they would. Finished job looks good and works well. Definitely a winner.
Customer Service was professional and thorough. As someone who isn’t all that familiar with solar systems and the process involved, no question was too difficult to answer which gave me comfort and confidence. The tradespeople kept their promise, arriving on time and delivering the desired outcomes.

A solar battery is far more than a product choice. It has to work with your solar, inverter, switchboard, backup needs, daily usage, and available space — which is exactly why the install should be planned by people who understand the electrical side of the job.
Australian Energy Upgrades is owned and run by licensed electricians, not salespeople — a family business led by two brothers who’ve worked in the energy industry since 2014. The business has operated since 2017, helping Victorian households install solar batteries, panels, EV chargers, and practical energy upgrades with honest advice and proper electrical support.
Every Mildura battery install opens with a thorough site review — switchboard, existing solar, inverter, energy use, and backup goals all checked before we recommend a battery. That keeps the system safe, practical, rebate-ready, and matched to how your home actually uses power through Mildura’s hot summers.
As a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC: 23631), we give Mildura homeowners confidence that qualified electricians are doing the work. Our team manages installation, rebate paperwork, network notification, commissioning, and aftercare — with clear communication from first quote to final handover.
Because licensed electricians lead the work, our advice comes from your property, not a sales script. We assess what your home needs, explain the options plainly, and install your battery with care — meaning tidy workmanship, sound guidance, and a setup built for the long term in
From your first quote through to the day your battery switches on, the entire job is handled in-house by the Australian Energy Upgrades team — no handoffs, and no third-party contractors turning up unannounced.
Free Quote & Site Assessment We start with a thorough inspection of your property — switchboard condition, any existing solar, roof layout, metering and your day-to-day power use. In a hot climate, where summer cooling drives heavy daytime and evening demand, getting this right is what separates a solar battery system that performs from one that’s wrongly sized. It’s free, with no obligation.
System Design & Rebate Confirmation Using your assessment, we design a battery sized to your real energy use and confirm exactly what you qualify for under the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program. The rebate is shown in your quote upfront, so you know the true cost before committing — not after.
CEC-Accredited Installation Our CEC-accredited team handles the complete install — battery mounting, electrical connections, inverter integration and any switchboard work. Most jobs are finished in a single day, and we take care of all compliance paperwork and network notification for you.
Commissioning & Ongoing Support Once it’s in, we test, commission and hand over your solar battery system with a clear walkthrough of how to monitor and manage it. Our support continues long after install — not just up to the sale.
