The Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program helps reduce the upfront cost of eligible home battery installations.
The discount is generally based on:
Battery size (usable capacity)
The larger the eligible battery system, the larger the available incentive, up to program limits. This is based on the battery’s usable storage capacity, not just the advertised total capacity.
Eligibility requirements
To qualify, the battery must meet program requirements, including approved products and compliant installation.
Timing
Like STCs, this incentive reduces over time as the program phases down, so earlier installation typically means a stronger benefit.
