Save up to 30% on a solar battery with the Cheaper Home Batteries Program.

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is a new federal initiative proposed by the Australian Government, set to launch on 1 July 2025. This solar battery subsidy offers rebates of approximately $372 per usable kilowatt-hour, which means you could save up to 30% on a home battery system.
