The $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program is now available to help more people install batteries.

Australia is a world leader in rooftop solar with more than 4 million rooftop solar PV systems, however only one in 40 households have installed batteries. The high upfront cost of batteries means installing batteries is out of reach for many households and businesses.

Australian households, businesses and community organisations can now get a discount of around 30% on the upfront cost of installing small-scale battery systems (5 kWh to 100 kWh).

The discount is:

• available for batteries connected to new or existing solar PV systems
• funded by the government to ensure no extra costs are passed on to consumers
• based on the battery’s usable capacity and the number of small-scale technology certificates the battery is eligible for
• going to be reviewed at least annually and will gradually decrease until 2030, in line with reducing battery prices.

Eligibility for the discount is subject to requirements in the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Amendment (Cheaper Home Batteries Program) Regulations 2025 being met.

The program is administered by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) and the government is funding the discount.
