The introduction of the Federal Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program has significantly increased interest in solar battery installations across Australia. Hundreds of thousands of households across the country are choosing to add a battery to their solar system to make better use of their solar energy, or to install a solar and battery system together.

As a result, accredited solar and battery installers in many regions are operating at high capacity. Their schedules are filling several weeks - and in some areas months - in advance. These conditions reflect broader demand across the industry rather than the capacity of any single provider.

Because accredited installers are currently in high demand in some regions, it may take longer than usual to secure an installation date.

Once you proceed with your order by paying the deposit, we assign your project to an accredited installer. Your installer will then contact you directly to confirm a suitable date for installation (and a pre-installation check if required).

If installer schedules are fully booked, it may take some time to secure a date. We work closely with our installers to arrange the earliest possible installation date.

Once the installation date is confirmed, Wattle Powr will send you further information outlining how to prepare for your installation.

While installation timeframes can vary depending on installer availability, location and electricity distributor approvals, our priority is to ensure every system is installed safely and to the required standards.

Rest assured, we will keep you informed on the progress of your installation, and you can reach out to us at any time for additional support.

A solar or battery system is a significant investment, and the quality of the installation plays an important role in ensuring the system performs reliably and delivers savings over the long term.

Solar and battery installations involve electrical compliance, strict installation standards and approvals from electricity distributors. Government incentive programs also require installers and installations to meet their standards in order to be eligible for rebates.

While high demand can affect scheduling, the installation process cannot be rushed. Taking the time to complete the installation to the highest quality helps ensure your system performs as intended and protects the safety of your home.
