What you need to know – and how Solahart can help

by
29 July 2025
in Local News

From July 1 eligible Australians could access a federal rebate of up to $3720 on a 10kWh battery system — making it more affordable than ever to store your solar energy and reduce your power bills.

Solahart is here to help you take full advantage of the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with expert advice, premium battery solutions, and trusted installation.

How much is the solar battery rebate?

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program offers up to $372 per usable kilowatt-hour (kWh) of battery capacity (before fees). After fees, the average customer saves approximately $330 per kWh — which could reduce the upfront cost of a 10kWh home battery by around $3300.

Who is eligible for the cheaper home batteries program?

You may qualify for the rebate if your battery system meets the following criteria:

– Between 5kWh and 100kWh in nominal capacity (Only the first 50kWh are rebate-eligible)

– Installed by a CEC-accredited battery installer

– Uses a Clean Energy Council – approved

solar battery

– Capable of connecting to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) (participation not required)

– Installed on a residential home, small business, or community building

– Connected to a new or existing solar PV system

– Installed for permanent use

(not portable or resold)

– Not an electric vehicle or portable energy storage device

You may also upgrade or expand an existing battery system if it hasn’t previously received the rebate and the added capacity is at least 5kWh.

For full eligibility criteria, read Intended eligibility for the Cheaper Home Batteries Program from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

WHY HOME BATTERIES ARE A SMART MOVE

As more Australians embrace solar energy, home batteries are quickly becoming the next step towards smarter, more sustainable living. Here’s why installing a battery could be one of the best energy decisions you make:

– Maximise your solar investment

– Store your excess solar energy and use

it day or night

– Reduce your energy bills and reliance

on the grid

– Enjoy greater energy independence and backup during blackouts (blackout functionality may be required at an

additional cost)

– Take part in a smarter, more sustainable energy future

As one of Australia’s most trusted names in solar, Solahart has been helping households take control of their energy bills for more than 70 years. When it comes to battery storage – especially with new government rebates announced creating unprecedented demand – choosing the right partner is more important than ever.
