Check Your Rebate & Discount Eligibility

While Australia is a global leader in rooftop solar adoption, the integration of battery storage has remained limited due to high upfront costs. To address this barrier, the government is now offering a 30% discount on eligible small-scale battery systems. This initiative aims to make energy storage more accessible, helping households and businesses lower their electricity bills while also contributing to a more stable and efficient national electricity grid for everyone.

Program Benefits for Participants: The discount helps participating households, businesses, and community organizations reduce their electricity bills by enabling them to store cheap, clean solar power for use when it is most needed.

Broader Grid and Community Advantages: The program lowers energy costs for all consumers, not just those who install a battery, by reducing peak demand and creating a more stable and resilient electricity grid.

Program Funding and Administration: The discount is funded by the government and administered by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER), ensuring no extra costs are passed on to consumers. The value is based on the battery's usable capacity and will be reviewed annually, gradually decreasing until 2030 in line with falling battery prices.

Safety, Legality, and Eligibility: The program clearly communicates the responsibilities for retailers, installers, and consumers to ensure batteries are bought, installed, and used legally, safely, and permanently. Eligibility for the discount is subject to meeting specific regulatory requirements.
