Installing a Solar Home Battery in 2025
Are you thinking about installing a solar battery for your home? Now there’s an unbeatable reason to go ahead, thanks to the Australian Government’s exciting new Cheaper Home Batteries Program launching on 1 July 2025.
Enjoy Up to 30% Savings with the New Rebate
Starting this July, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program will offer around a 30% discount off the upfront cost of installing an eligible solar battery. For a typical 10 kWh battery system, that’s about $3,720 saved! This generous rebate will be delivered through the trusted Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), making the process straightforward and reliable.
But act soon—the rebate will gradually decrease each year until 2030. In 2026, the savings drop to approximately $336 per kWh, down from $372 per kWh in 2025.
Why Install in July Instead of Right Now?
While you might be eager to install your battery today, our professional recommendation is clear: Wait until July. The government has indicated that there could be some initial teething issues with battery commissioning for installations done prior to July 1st. To avoid any complications or frustrations, the safest and smoothest approach is to book your battery installation with us for after the rebate officially begins.
What Makes a Battery Eligible?
Eligible battery systems:
- Must be between 5 kWh to 100 kWh in capacity.
- Need to be Virtual Power Plant (VPP) ready.
- Must be on the Clean Energy Council’s (CEC) approved product list.
- You can claim the Battery Rebate ONLY ONCE. If you have claimed it previously for the same or different property, you are no longer eligible for the rebate.
Good news for our existing solar clients: if you already have solar panels but no battery, you’re perfectly positioned to take advantage of this rebate.
Benefits of Solar Batteries
Installing a solar battery isn’t just about saving money upfront. It means:
- Storing your own clean, solar-generated electricity for use at any time.
