What Is the Cheaper Home Batteries Program?

​

This initiative is designed to support more homes in adopting battery technology by offering upfront rebates on battery purchases and installations.

​

Here’s a quick summary:

• Up to $3,300 rebate for a standard 10kWh battery

• Uncapped program – no limit on the number of rebates

• The subsidy is not means-tested.

• Add-on batteries eligible if you already have a system

• Rebate reduces gradually each year until 2030

Am I Eligible?

​

• To qualify for the rebate:

• The battery must be Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved

• Installation must be done by a CEC-accredited battery installer (Green Light Electrical Services)

• The battery must have a capacity of 5kWh or more

• It must be VPP-capable (Virtual Power Plant ready)

• The battery must not be switched on before 1 July 2025
