Australia’s energy landscape is evolving, and the government’s new $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program is at the forefront of this transformation. Set to launch on 1 July 2025, this initiative aims to make home battery systems more accessible, offering substantial savings for households and businesses alike.

What’s the Deal?

Under the program, eligible Australians can receive a 30% – 50% discount on the installed cost of a home battery system.
This translates to approximately $4,000 off a standard 11.5 kWh battery, making energy storage more attainable for many.

Who’s Eligible?

The program is open to:

• Homeowners with existing rooftop solar systems.
• Those planning to install new solar and battery systems.
• Small businesses and community facilities.

To qualify, the battery system must:

• Have a usable capacity between 5–50 kWh.
• Be Virtual Power Plant (VPP) ready, allowing for potential participation in energy sharing networks.
• Be installed alongside new or existing rooftop solar panels.

Why Consider a Battery Now?

With over four million Australian homes equipped with solar panels, the addition of a battery system can significantly enhance energy independence.
Benefits include:

• Increased Savings: Potential to save up to $2,300 annually on electricity bills when combining solar and battery systems.
• Energy Resilience: Store excess solar energy for use during peak times or outages.
• Environmental Impact: Reduce reliance on the grid and lower carbon emissions.
