Overview

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program provides households, businesses, and community organisations with discounts of up to 30% on the upfront cost of installing small-scale solar battery systems. The discount is based on the battery's usable capacity and eligible small-scale technology certificates, and will gradually decrease until 2030 as battery prices reduce.

Eligibility Requirements

Eligible battery systems must have usable capacity between 5 kWh and 100 kWh and be connected to new or existing solar PV systems. Additional capacity added to existing systems is eligible if the system has not previously received a discount and the additional capacity is at least 5 kWh. Retailers must provide assurance the battery will be installed for permanent use.
