What Is the Cheaper Home Batteries Program?

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program supports eligible solar battery installations through the federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. It is separate from the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program.

Its goal is simple: help more Australians store excess solar power and reduce reliance on the grid during peak evening hours or low-sunlight periods.

How Does the Cheaper Home Batteries Program Work?

Eligible installations may qualify for support calculated using small-scale technology certificates (STCs), subject to program requirements.

Any applicable upfront discount and customer contribution will be itemised in your quote before you proceed.

Who Is Eligible?

Households, small businesses and community organisations may qualify for a battery discount through the Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program.

Eligibility depends on the battery’s capacity, approved equipment, connection to new or existing solar, installation date and compliance with program requirements. Previous battery incentive claims at the premises may also affect eligibility.

We’ll assess your proposed installation and confirm any applicable discount in your quote before you proceed.

Why Now: The Big Opportunity

Reduce Your Reliance on Grid Electricity

A solar battery lets you store excess solar energy for use later, helping reduce the electricity you buy from the grid. Actual savings depend on your energy use, electricity tariffs and system configuration.

Eligible systems may qualify for an upfront discount through the Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program, separate from VEU. The discount depends on battery capacity, installation date and program requirements. Any applicable discount will be confirmed in your quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our products and services.

What is the federal battery discount available in Victoria?

Can I add a battery to an existing solar system?

Yes. You can add a compliant battery to your existing solar setup as long as:

– The battery meets program requirements.
– It appears on the CEC approved list
– Installation is certified after 1 July 2025

Do I need to join a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) to receive the battery discount?

No, joining a VPP is optional. However, your battery must be VPP-ready, meaning it can technically connect to a VPP if you choose to join in the future.

Are commercial and small business properties eligible?

Small businesses may qualify, subject to current equipment, capacity, installation and other program requirements. We’ll assess the proposed installation and confirm any applicable discount in writing.

How do I access the battery discount?
