It’s official – The Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program is here! The program starts July 1st 2025 which provides a ~30% discount on eligible batteries.
The $2.3 billion program significantly reduces the cost of a battery and is also not means tested. This makes the rebate available to all homeowners or businesses.
The rebates will range from $3,200 to $17,500 depending on the size of the battery and how much usable capacity it has. There has never been a better time to reduce your energy bill day and night, along with having back up power for the next cyclone season.
Here’s the details:
- $2.3 Billion Government Program
- Battery must be installed to a Solar System (new or existing)
- The Battery must be Virtual Power Plant (VPP) capable
- Only one rebate can be claimed per household
- The rebate is based on the existing Solar STC program
- Solar battery rebate reduces January 1st each year, and ends in 2030 or when the fund is over
We are urging our customers to reach out immediately if they are wanting a battery for their home or business, as we are expecting a very large uptake and stock shortage as we get closer to the rebate reducing come January 1st.
