Big Battery Savings Are Coming – Here’s How to Get Ready with E-Green Electrical

Australia is taking another big step toward a cleaner, more energy-resilient future—and this time, households and small businesses stand to benefit in a big way.

With the launch of the Cheaper Home Batteries Program on 1 July 2025, eligible Australians will gain access to generous rebates that make installing a home battery system more affordable than ever before.

This landmark initiative from the federal government is backed by a massive $2.3 billion investment, aiming to empower homes and businesses to store their renewable energy, reduce electricity bills, and ease pressure on the national power grid.

If you’ve ever considered adding a battery to your solar system, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

At E-Green Electrical, we’re ready to help you make the most of this scheme from day one.

Whether you’re already producing solar power or planning to install a new system, our expert team will guide you through every step—from eligibility checks and system design to compliant installation and rebate claims.

Here’s everything you need to know to get ready for one of Australia’s most significant clean energy upgrades.

What Is the Cheaper Home Batteries Program?

Starting 1 July 2025, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program will offer financial incentives to households and small businesses installing home battery storage systems.

The goal is simple: accelerate the adoption of solar battery storage, making it more accessible and driving Australia closer to a net-zero future.

The program provides a rebate of up to 30% off the battery system cost, which translates to a maximum of $372 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of usable storage capacity, up to a maximum of 50 kWh per system. That’s a potential saving of up to $18,600 for eligible homes or businesses in the first year alone.

These rebates will gradually decline each year until the program ends in 2030, so acting early will ensure you lock in the maximum benefit.

Why Home Battery Storage Makes Sense Now

If you already have solar panels installed, chances are you’re sending excess energy back to the grid for a minimal feed-in tariff.

With a battery storage system, you can store that energy and use it when the sun isn’t shining—evening, night, or cloudy days—increasing your solar self-consumption and cutting your electricity bills significantly.

Here’s why investing in a battery system in 2025 just makes sense:

• Energy Bill Savings: Use more of your power and reduce grid reliance
• Energy Independence: Keep your lights on during blackouts with backup options
• Sustainability: Reduce your carbon footprint by limiting fossil fuel dependence
• Future-Ready Technology: Get VPP-capable systems that support grid stability and open up future participation in Virtual Power Plants

Key Program Details You Need to Know

Before diving in, it’s essential to understand the eligibility and technical requirements under the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. Here’s what’s covered:

Battery Capacity: Systems between 5 kWh and 100 kWh are eligible

Rebate Cap: Up to $372 per kWh usable capacity (up to 50 kWh in 2025)
Installation Date: Must be installed on or after 1 July 2025
Accredited Installers: Must be installed by an SAA-accredited installer
Approved Products: Both the battery and the inverter must be CEC-approved

Solar Integration: Must be paired with an existing or new solar PV system
VPP-Ready: On-grid batteries must be Virtual Power Plant-capable (no participation required)

Meeting these criteria is crucial to receive the rebate. That’s where choosing a trusted provider like E-Green Electrical makes all the difference.

Who Should Consider a Battery System?

Home batteries aren’t just for large households or tech-savvy early adopters. Thanks to government support and falling battery prices, battery storage is now a smart choice for a wide range of Australians, including:

• Homeowners with solar who want to increase self-use and savings
• Small businesses looking to control energy costs and boost sustainability
• New solar adopters who want an all-in-one clean energy solution
• Anyone seeking backup power for outages or grid instability
