Federal Government
Solar Battery Incentives

The Australian Labor Government has announced a significant initiative to make home battery storage more accessible and affordable. Starting from July 1, 2025, the $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program aims to reduce the cost of installing home batteries by approximately 30%, translating to savings of around $4,000 on a typical system. This subsidy is expected to encourage the installation of over one million new batteries by 2030, enabling more households to store solar energy and reduce reliance on the grid.

For homeowners with existing rooftop solar systems, the addition of a battery could lead to annual savings of up to $1,100 on electricity bills. Those installing both new solar panels and a battery system may see savings of up to $2,300 per year, potentially reducing their electricity costs by up to 90%. The program will be delivered through the existing Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, which has successfully supported solar subsidies since 2011.

Platinum Solar Group is well-positioned to assist homeowners in leveraging this opportunity. With expertise in installing a range of high-quality solar batteries, including brands like Tesla and AlphaESS, Platinum Solar Group can help customers maximize their energy savings and contribute to a more sustainable future.
