With the Federal Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program launching on July 1st, 2025, now is the perfect time to invest in a solar battery system. Whether you’re adding a battery to your existing solar setup or installing a new system, this rebate could slash costs by up to 30%, making energy independence more accessible than ever.
Households can benefit from a rebate of up to $372 per kWh of battery capacity, helping to significantly reduce upfront costs. On average, homes with solar and battery storage could save as much as $2,300 per year, while those adding a battery to their current solar system might see additional savings of $1,100 annually.
Beyond financial savings, home batteries offer a smarter way to use solar power, allowing homeowners to store excess energy for use at night or on cloudy days, reduce reliance on the grid, and even protect against blackouts. It’s an investment that not only lowers electricity bills but also helps shrink your carbon footprint.
But is it right for you?
Homeowners should consider the following key questions before making their decision:
- Are you exporting excess solar power to the grid at a low feed-in tariff rate?
- Do you use more electricity in the evenings, when solar panels aren’t producing energy?
- Are rising energy costs a concern?
- Do you need extra backup for power outages?
- Are your energy needs increasing? For example, planning to buy an electric vehicle or upgrade heating and cooling systems.
If these apply to you, a battery could boost energy independence and savings. A quick chat with a local expert can help you decide.
The rebate applies to new solar and battery installations or to those adding a battery to an existing system. There’s no means testing, but rebate amounts will gradually decrease over time, so acting quickly means bigger savings.
