What is the Cheaper Home Batteries Program?
From 1 July 2025, the Australian Government launched the Cheaper Home Batteries Program—a funded under the Small‑scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) offering a ~30% discount on eligible home batteries (5–100 kWh) connected to solar. Batteries must be Clean Energy Council–approved, installed by accredited providers, and paired with solar systems.
