Solar and Battery Rebates
Cheaper Home Batteries Program
Save approximately 30% on Solar Batteries
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is a new $2.3 billion federal initiative that could reduce the upfront cost of a solar battery system by approximately 30%.
For example, if you install a 13.5kWh battery, you could be eligible for a rebate of approximately $4,500*, a substantial saving that makes battery storage more accessible than ever.
Another great thing about this program is it’s not just for homeowners, it also supports small businesses and community facilities looking to take control of their energy use and cut down on rising electricity costs. Plus, by getting a bigger battery, you’ll be able to enjoy a larger rebate amount.
With over 4 million rooftop solar systems already installed nationwide, this program is a game-changer ready to take the next step toward energy independence.
*Final rebate amount depends on system size, applicable BSTCs (Battery Small-scale Technology Certificates), and other eligibility criteria.
Claiming Solar Panel Rebates
Eligible solar panel installations may attract rebates using the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) by supporting solar and battery uptake by awarding Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) for eligible systems. Each STC represents 1 megawatt hour (MWh) of renewable electricity generated or displaced.
STCs help meet national renewable targets and lower the cost of systems, making solar and battery solutions more affordable.
Installing eligible energy systems allows you to earn STCs, which KDEC offers as an upfront discount at the point of sale.
Eligible systems include:
- Solar PV
- Wind and hydro
- Solar water heaters
- Air source heat pumps
The number of STCs you receive depends on:
- Geographical location
- Installation date
- Amount of electricity generated or displaced in MWh
- Creation over one or 5 years, or a single maximum deeming period.
Battery Storage
From 1 July 2025, Cheaper Homes Battery Program takes effect, households and small businesses are eligible for around a 30% discount on the upfront cost of installing small-scale battery systems. The discount will be based on the solar battery’s usable capacity and will gradually decrease until 2030.
The Australian Government will fully fund the discount for solar batteries by purchasing small-scale technology certificates (STCs). This means no costs will be passed on to householders through energy retailers.
Household batteries will assist in balancing electricity supply and demand across the whole grid. This should reduce costs to all households over time.

Solar System Information
How solar powered energy works
1
Solar Panels
Well placed solar panels capture sunlight and turn it into a direct current (DC).
2
Solar Inverter
A solar inverter then converts a DC into an alternating current (AC). The AC is what powers your home in real time.
3
Solar Battery
If you choose to install a solar battery, excess energy is stored rather than always pushing it out to the grid.
4
Digital Meter
A device that allows you to monitor energy habits and track your energy use.
5
Power Grid
Any excess energy that solar panels generate is pushed out to the grid. This energy is measured and calculated to credit your account. You can also draw energy from the grid when and as you need it.
