Cheaper Home Batteries Program

Save up to $18,600 on your battery installation from 1 July 2025

Australia’s new Cheaper Home Batteries Program is launching on 1 July 2025, offering a substantial rebate for homeowners, small businesses, and community organisations. If you’re looking to reduce your power bills, boost your energy independence, and make the most of your rooftop solar, now is the time.

The program will provide an upfront discount of up to $372 per kWh on the first 50kWh of usable capacity, meaning you could save as much as $18,600* on a larger system. Rebates are applied at the point of sale and will gradually decrease each year until 2030.

* full value of the STC's, excluding any processing and admin fees.
