The Federal Labor Government has committed to the $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which will allow households to purchase a home battery with an estimated 30% discount on typical installed costs. This will help households reduce reliance on fossil fuels – and take back control of their power costs!
We still haven’t been given the full details and eligibility criteria for the rebate, but here’s what we’ve been told so far by Energy Minister Chris Bowen, and industry groups:
The subsidy is an extension of the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, and the Government has announced the rebate value at a maximum of $372.00 per kWh of usable battery capacity – however we expect it to be less than this for a few reasons (lower certificate trading price, and trader fees/charges being the main two). The rebate will also decline annually alongside the solar STC rebate, ending in 2030. Which means the highest possible rebate value will only be available for systems installed in July-Dec (inclusive) of this year.
We don’t have all the details yet, and our industry groups are issuing caution until things are clearer. We should hopefully have more information by the end of May, once the Energy Minister is sworn in and has announced the full program details, compliance and eligibility criteria. We will update this post as we hear more!
Given the expected popularity of this program and the end-of-year price drop deadline, we would recommend getting in touch with one of our consultants to get your system design and quote.

Lately we’ve seen some large electricity price increases, low solar feed in tariffs, a large amount of residential solar installations and a climate with its fair share of sunlight; a great recipe for a battery storage revolution.
