Big News for Aussie Homes: Up to 30% Off Home Batteries

From July 1, 2025, the Australian Government is launching a game-changing rebate, “The Cheaper Home Batteries Program” aimed at making home battery storage more affordable for everyday Aussies. With this rebate, you can get up to 30% off the cost of a new solar battery system for your home or small business.

At Electron Solar, we’re here to help you take full advantage of this opportunity.

What Is the Cheaper Home Batteries Program?

This federal rebate is part of the government’s plan to help more Australians save on their power bills while supporting the shift to clean energy. The program is expected to support over one million new battery installations by 2030.

The best part? The discount is applied upfront — no need to wait months or years to see the savings.

Who’s Eligible?

To qualify, here’s what you’ll need:

• A battery system between 5kWh and 50kWh in capacity
• A system that is VPP-ready (Virtual Power Plant capable)
• Installation by a Clean Energy Council-accredited installer
• The battery must be connected to rooftop solar (new or existing)

No income testing required — this rebate is open to everyone who meets the criteria.

What Could You Save?

The rebate is based on battery size. You can receive up to $372 per kWh of usable storage.

Example:

• 13.5kWh battery = approx. $5,022 rebate
• After admin costs, you could still save over $4,000

That’s real money back — from day one.

Why Should You Install a Battery Now?

Solar panels are great—but pairing them with a battery takes your energy savings to the next level:

• Use more of your own solar power
• Store excess energy for night or cloudy days
• Reduce your electricity bill
• Keep lights on during blackouts
• Join a VPP and earn extra cash
