The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is now available.
Households and small businesses may be eligible for around a 30% discount on the upfront cost of installing a small-scale solar battery. The discount will be based on the solar battery’s usable capacity and will gradually decrease until 2030.
The Australian Government will fully fund the discount for eligible solar batteries by purchasing small-scale technology certificates (STCs). This means no costs will be passed on to householders through energy retailers.
