Cheaper Home Batteries Program
The Federal Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program launched on 1 July, offering a rebate discount on battery installations.
This rebate reduces twice a year until 2030, meaning you'll get a smaller discount the longer you wait to install your battery.
Who's eligible?
This rebate discount is available for a new home battery if purchased for a home with new or existing solar panels. The level of discount is based on the solar battery’s usable capacity.
