New Federal Battery Rebate

Save up to $4,000 on Solar Battery Installation from 1st July 2025!

Big news for Australian households, small businesses and community groups – the re-elected Albanese Government is launching a major incentive to make solar battery storage more affordable than ever.

Starting 1 July 2025, the $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program will provide a 30% rebate on the cost of installed home batteries – saving most households around $4,000.

If you already have rooftop solar, adding a battery could slash your energy bill by up to $1,100 a year. Installing solar and a battery together could save up to $2,300 a year, which is as much as 90% off a typical power bill.

Key Details:

• 30% rebate on battery systems, delivered via the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme

• Over 1 million new batteries expected to be installed by 2030

• Available to homeowners, small businesses, and community facilities

• Systems up to 100kWh, with support for up to 50kWh eligible for the subsidy

This is a game-changing opportunity for Victorians looking to gain energy independence and cut long-term electricity costs.

What’s more, Victorians can combine this federal rebate with the Solar Victoria battery loan, which offers up to $8,800 interest-free, making it even more affordable to install a system now and pay it off over four years.

Why batteries?

Battery storage lets you:

• Store your excess solar energy to use at night or during peak grid pricing

• Become less reliant on energy retailers

• Protect yourself from rising electricity costs

• Help stabilise the grid and lower demand during peak hours
