Save up to 30% on Home Batteries
Save on a Home Battery with Government Rebates
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program provides an upfront discount on the purchase and installation of home batteries. Australian households and businesses can get a discount of around 30% on the upfront cost of installing a range of small-scale battery systems (5kWh to 100kWh).
The discount is:
available for batteries connected to new or existing solar PV systems
based on the battery’s usable capacity and the number of small-scale technology certificates (STCs) the battery is eligible for under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES)
going to be reviewed at least annually and will decrease over time until 2030.
Solahart is here to help you take full advantage of the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with expert advice, premium battery solutions, and trusted installation.
How Much Is the Solar Battery Rebate?
From May 1 2026, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program uses a tiered, capacity-based rebate. The rebate applies to the first 50kWh of usable battery capacity, but it can be received by batteries of up to 100kWh.
Tier 1 (up to 14kWh): may receive around ~$243 per kWh
Tier 2 (15kWh - 28kWh): may recieve around ~$146 per kWh
Tier 3 (28kWh - 50kWh): may receive around ~$36 per kWh
Note: the above figures are before administration fees.
Who Is Eligible for the Cheaper Home Batteries Program?
You may qualify for the rebate if your battery system meets the following criteria:
Between 5kWh and 100kWh in nominal capacity (Only the first 50kWh are rebate-eligible)
Installed by an SAA-accredited battery installer
Capable of connecting to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) (participation not required)
Installed on a residential home, small business, or community building
Connected to a new or existing solar PV system
Installed for permanent use (not portable or resold)
Not an electric vehicle or portable energy storage device
You may also upgrade or expand an existing battery system if it hasn’t previously received the rebate and the added capacity is at least 5kWh.
