The future of energy in Australia is changing rapidly, and the introduction of the Cheaper Home Batteries Program in July 2025 is set to make a significant impact.
Starting July 1, 2025, the Australian Government will offer a 30% rebate on the cost of installing home batteries, making it more affordable for homeowners, small businesses, and community facilities to adopt solar battery storage. With no cap on the number of rebates available, this initiative will create massive opportunities. However, to participate, you’ll need to be accredited to install these systems.
So, the real question is: Are you ready to seize this solar and battery rebate opportunity?
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is part of the Australian Government’s efforts to increase access to renewable energy storage. The program offers a 30% subsidy for installing home solar batteries, making it more affordable for eligible Australians to store solar energy.
Here’s what you need to know about the program:
Start Date: July 1, 2025
Rebate: Approximately 30% of the battery installation cost, capped at $372 per usable kWh
Eligibility: Available to homeowners, small businesses, and community facilities
Battery Size: Eligible solar batteries must have a usable capacity between 5 and 50 kWh
VPP Capable: Batteries must be Virtual Power Plant (VPP)-capable, although joining a VPP is not required for the rebate
Delivered Through: The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES)
Not Means-Tested: Available to all eligible property owners
Retroactive: Batteries installed before July 1 can still qualify, as long as they are activated after the program commences
Stackable: The federal rebate can be combined with state or territory-level rebates for additional savings
This is a fantastic opportunity for Australian residents and businesses to use clean energy solutions while saving on solar battery installation costs.
