Unlock Massive Savings on Home Batteries: Federal & Victorian Rebates Explained

As energy costs continue to rise, Australian households are increasingly turning to solar battery storage to reduce their electricity bills and carbon footprint. With new federal and Victorian incentives available in 2025, there's never been a better time to invest in a home battery system. At Electron Solar, we're here to guide you through these opportunities and help you maximize your savings.

Federal Government's Cheaper Home Batteries Program

Starting July 1, 2025, the Australian Government is launching the $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program. This initiative offers substantial rebates to make home battery systems more affordable for households and small businesses.

Key Details:

• Rebate Amount: Up to $372 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of usable battery capacity.
• Eligible Systems: Battery systems ranging from 5kWh to 50kWh.
• Eligibility: Available to both new and existing solar system owners.
• Requirements: Batteries must be compatible with Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), though participation is optional.

This program aims to support over one million new battery installations across Australia by 2030.

Victorian Solar Battery Incentives

Victorian residents can further benefit from state-level incentives to complement the federal rebate.

Solar Homes Program:

While direct solar battery rebates in Victoria have ended, homeowners still have access to interest-free loans and finance options through the Solar Homes Program.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Owner-occupier of an existing property.
• Combined household taxable income under $210,000/year.
• Property valued under $3 million.
• Installation of a solar panel system with at least 5kW inverter capacity.
• Battery system with minimum 6kWh capacity, listed on the Solar Victoria product list.
