The Australian Government’s national battery rebate is in the works! Following Labor’s election win, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program is expected to launch on 1st July 2025, which would make battery storage more affordable than ever.
This would be great news for homeowners and small businesses looking to maximise their solar investment, with eligible households able to access up to $372 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of usable battery capacity (before administration fees and charges) – potentially saving thousands on upfront costs.
The Federal Government has set aside $2.3 billion for the program, with the aim of supporting at least 6.2GWh of battery storage across Australian homes and small businesses.
We’re keeping you in the loop on key government changes that could make battery storage more affordable than ever. A federal rebate for home batteries is on the table. Here’s what it could mean for your home – and how Solahart can help you prepare.

Installations between 6th April and 1st July 2025 may still be eligible if they remain uncommissioned until the rebate is set to being on 1st July 2025.
We can guide you through the best options to maximise your benefit.
