What is the Cheaper Home Batteries Program?
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is an Australian government rebate program for home solar systems and is designed to help you access affordable solar battery storage, lower your electricity bills, and support a cleaner, greener future.
By participating in the program, you can get significant rebates that make installing a home solar battery system more affordable. A home solar battery lets you store excess solar energy for use at night or during peak times, saving you money and increasing your energy independence.

General information
The solar battery discount is:

- going to be reviewed at least annually and will gradually decrease until 2030, in line with reducing battery prices.
The program is:

- lowering costs for everyone – not just those who install a battery – by reducing peak demand and creating a more stable electricity grid
- communicating responsibilities for retailers, installers and consumers to ensure batteries are bought and installed legally, safely and for permanent use.

Accessing the solar battery discount
Consumers do not need to apply for the discount.
The discount is generally provided through accredited installers/retailers and will be offered as an upfront reduction on the cost of the battery, unless you decide to register for STCs yourself via the CER.
The CER provides more information about creating and selling STCs under the program.
However, most people will decide to receive the upfront discount from the retailer/installer as a reduced price. In these instances, you should:
- Carefully research which battery system is best suited to your energy usage.
- Make sure information about the value of the program discount, the system warranty, and the anticipated payback period is clearly communicated.
- Select a reputable retailer and installer. Check with family, friends or neighbours. Ensure the battery is approved by the Clean Energy Council and the installer is properly accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia.
- Ensure the accredited installer is on site for the set-up, installation and commissioning of the battery.
