Act Now!
The Federal Government’s Cheaper Homes Battery Program may be closing very soon. To avoid missing out on this rebate, you can reserve your spot today by selecting your preferred battery system and paying a fully refundable $500 deposit.
Eligibility for the program includes:
A single solar battery with a nominal (total) capacity of 5 kWh to 100 kWh will be eligible.
The solar battery's usable capacity will be used to calculate the number of STCs it will be eligible for. STCs can only be claimed for the first 50 kWh of usable capacity.
The solar battery will need to be installed with a new or existing solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
The solar battery is considered ‘installed’ when a certificate of electrical compliance or equivalent is signed, which confirms that the system complies with relevant state and territory electrical safety regulations.
See the full eligibility requirements on the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) website.
The Clean Energy Regulator will administer the program under the existing Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES).
The Australian Government will fully fund the discount for solar batteries by purchasing small-scale technology certificates (STCs).
Household batteries will assist in balancing electricity supply and demand across the whole grid. This should reduce costs to all households over time.
