Save Up to $3,700 with the New Federal Solar Battery Rebate

From 1 July 2025, Australian homeowners will be able to access a brand new Federal Government initiative — the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. This is the first-ever national rebate specifically for solar battery systems, making it more affordable than ever to increase your home’s energy independence and reduce electricity bills.

What Is the Cheaper Home Batteries Program?

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is designed to make solar battery storage more accessible. It offers a rebate of up to 30% off the cost of a home battery system, potentially saving households between $3,300 and $3,700 on a standard 10kWsolar battery installation.

Whether you’re adding a battery to your existing solar system or investing in one as part of a new installation, this rebate significantly reduces upfront costs.

Victorian Solar Battery Support

If you’re located in Victoria, you’re in an even stronger position. In addition to the new federal rebate, you may also be eligible for the Solar Victoria Battery Loan, which offers interest-free loans of up to $8,800 to help cover battery installation costs.

  • Federal Battery Rebate: Up to 30% off (around $3,300–$3,700 on a 10kW system)
