Launching on July 1 2025, the Federal Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program offers small businesses and home owners the opportunity to make genuine savings on a new solar battery storage system.
According to Rob Rawlings, owner-manager of Solahart Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance, the program could potential save property owners “thousands of dollars on a new battery system”.
“The rebate offers eligible homes and small businesses up to $372 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of usable battery capacity,” Rob explained.
“With the rebate applying to batteries with a storage capacity of between 5kWh and 50kWh, the savings can be considerable.”
Rob said that the rebate applies for properties – new or old – with existing solar systems, including off-grid and community buildings.
“Even systems installed between April 6 2025 and July 1 2025 might qualify, as long as they remain remain un-commissioned until the rebate begins,” he said.
