Bigger Battery Rebate Until 31 December 2026
Government Battery RebatesSave Around 30% on Battery Storage
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program takes around 30% off an eligible home or small-business battery, in every state and territory. The discount gets smaller on 1 January 2027, and again every six months after that, so the sooner your battery is installed, the more you save.
A $7.2 Billion Federal Battery Program
Since 1 July 2025 the federal government has discounted home and small-business batteries, paid per kWh of usable capacity and taken straight off your quote. The discount falls every six months until the program ends in 2030.
Around 30% Off
The full discount applies to the first 14 kWh, 60% of it from 14 to 28 kWh, and 15% from 28 to 50 kWh of usable capacity.

Why a Battery
A battery lets you keep the solar you make, use it when power is dearest, and keep going when the grid doesn't.
Lower Bills
Use your own stored solar in the evening instead of buying power at peak rates.
Blackout Backup
With a backup-ready system, keep essential appliances running during an outage.
Keep Your Solar
Store what you make instead of selling it back to the grid for a few cents.
Earn From the Grid
Join a Virtual Power Plant and get paid when your battery helps the grid at busy times.
Cleaner Evenings
Run your home on your own solar after dark, rather than on power from the grid.
