Who can apply?

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is a nationwide initiative available to all household types and small businesses, including charities and not-for-profit organisations, provided the following criteria are met:

  • You are a homeowner or small business operator located in Australia

  • The battery system must have a usable capacity between 5kWh and 50kWh

  • The battery must be VPP-capable (compatible with a Virtual Power Plant)

  • The installation must be completed by a Clean Energy Council (CEC)-accredited installer using approved products

  • The system must be installed on or after 1 July 2025

  • You must not have previously received a battery rebate under this program for the same property or location

Both owner-occupiers and renters may be eligible, depending on system ownership and landlord consent. However, landlords cannot apply on behalf of tenants without appropriate agreements in place.

Please note: Only systems installed on or after 1 July 2025 will be eligible. Installations completed before this date are not eligible for the rebate.

What does the rebate cover?

Under the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, eligible Australian households and small businesses can receive a rebate of up to 50% of the cost of an approved home battery system, with a maximum rebate amount capped at $4,000. This initiative aims to make battery storage more affordable by reducing the upfront investment required to store excess solar energy for use during evenings or outages.

The rebate amount is calculated based on the net cost of the battery system, which includes GST and considers any contributions from Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) or Virtual Power Plant (VPP) participation.

The rebate will be whichever is lower: 50% of the net system cost or $4,000.
For example:

  • If the total battery system cost is $12,000 (inc. GST and less STCs), the rebate will be capped at $4,000, not $6,000.

  • If the system costs $6,000, the rebate will be $3,000 (50% of the cost).

  • If the system costs $7,800, the rebate would be $3,900 (as it's under the $4,000 cap).

This rebate will apply to installations that occur on or after 1 July 2025, and may be adjusted in future phases of the program based on uptake and funding availability.

The battery system must meet eligibility criteria, including:

  • Usable storage capacity between 5kWh and 50kWh

  • Installed by a Clean Energy Council (CEC)-accredited installer

  • Use of approved products

  • Be VPP-capable to allow for future grid services participation

This program is available to all households and small businesses nationwide, with no income testing required. However, each property or business location is only eligible for one rebate under the program.

By combining this rebate with the ongoing benefits of solar energy, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program enables more Australians to take control of their energy usage, reduce power bills, and contribute to a more resilient, renewable-powered future.
