On 13 December 2025, the Australian Government announced it would expand the Cheaper Home Batteries Program from original estimates of $2.3 billion to an estimated $7.2 billion over the next four years. This is expected to see more than 2 million Australians install a battery by 2030, delivering around 40 gigawatt hours of additional storage capacity.
This change is accompanied by proposed program adjustments to ensure the discount remains appropriate for small, medium and larger battery systems.
The proposed changes will help ensure:
Subject to regulations being made, two adjustments will be made to the discount and will come into effect from 1 May 2026.
The STC Factor will be adjusted.
The discount is provided through the creation and trading of STCs. To fund the discount, the government purchases the equivalent number of STCs created for batteries.
The STC Factor will be adjusted to:
The Clean Energy Regulator will administer the program under the existing Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES).
The Australian Government will fully fund the discount for solar batteries by purchasing small-scale technology certificates (STCs).
Household batteries will assist in balancing electricity supply and demand across the whole grid. This should reduce costs to all households over time.
Please note: Access to the Cheaper Homes Battery Rebate is subject to eligibility, government program capacity, and final approval by the administering body. Energy at Home makes no guarantee that rebates will be available at the time your application is processed.
In the event that we are unable to secure the rebate on your behalf, your $500 deposit will be refunded in full.
