ZEROHERO | GloBird Energy

Get More from Your Battery with the Right Energy Plan.

Installing a battery is only half the story, the plan you choose determines how much you save and how quickly your system pays for itself.

That’s why we created ZEROHERO, a unique energy plan designed exclusively for battery owners. It gives you more control, bigger rewards, and the chance to make your battery pay for itself faster.

Our core plan works with any battery brand and lets you stay fully in control. And if you’d like to earn even more, you can opt into our Virtual Power Plant (VPP) add-on, where GloBird helps optimise your battery remotely to boost your income. The choice is yours.

Thinking About a battery? Check out these rebates

Cheaper Home Battery Program Receive up to 30% off installation costs

From July 2025, the Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program will make home energy storage more affordable for households across the country. Under the program, eligible homeowners can receive a rebate of around 30% off the total installation costs of a home battery system, making the upfront investment significantly lower.

The rebate is applied at the point of purchase, so you won’t need to manage complex paperwork or wait months for a refund. Instead, your accredited battery installer will guide you through the process and handle the rebate claim on your behalf. This ensures the discount is built directly into your installation quote, keeping things simple and transparent.

By reducing the cost barrier, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program makes it easier for households to store excess solar power, cut electricity bills, and increase independence from the grid — while also supporting Australia’s transition to cleaner energy.

Virtual Power Plant rebate (NSW/SA only) Join ZEROHERO and receive a rebate of up to $2,050

On top of the federal rebate, some states provide even greater savings. In New South Wales and South Australia, households can access additional incentives of up to $2,050 when they connect their home battery to a recognised Virtual Power Plant (VPP) energy plan, such as ZEROHERO.

Once your battery is installed and you’ve joined the ZEROHERO plan, our team will email you simple instructions on how to claim your VPP rebate. The process is quick and hassle-free, managed by our partner Mac Trade Services, with the rebate paid directly into your bank account.

Here’s the list of battery brands that are eligible for the VPP rebate:

  • Alpha (NSW, SA)
  • eCactus (NSW)
  • Neovolt (NSW)
  • Redback (NSW, SA)
  • SAJ (NSW)
  • Sigenergy (NSW, SA)
  • Solax (NSW, SA)
  • Solis+Dyness (NSW)
