Australia is about to see one of the biggest boosts to home battery affordability with the Federal Government’s new Cheaper Home Batteries Program, officially launching on July 1, 2025.

What Is the Federal Battery Rebate?
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is a $2.3 billion national initiative aimed at making solar battery storage more accessible for Australian households and small businesses.
Under the scheme, you could be eligible for an upfront rebate of up to $372 per usable kilowatt-hour (kWh)—which means around $3,300 off a standard 10 kWh battery, depending on your system.
The rebate applies to new battery installations between 5 kWh and 50 kWh, whether you’re adding a battery to an existing solar system or installing both together.
How SolaXs Makes It Easy
At SolaXs, we take care of everything so you don’t have to lift a finger. Here’s what we offer:
- A full range of eligible, Clean Energy Council-approved batteries ready for immediate installation
- CEC-accredited installers who meet all rebate requirements
- End-to-end service including consultation, design, installation, and post-installation support
- Assistance with rebate eligibility checks and application paperwork
- Seamless integration with your existing or new solar system
Even if you install your battery before July 1, 2025, you may still be eligible—as long as your system remains inactive until the rebate officially launches.
We’ll guide you through that process and make sure you’re compliant.
Stack It With Other Incentives
One of the best parts of this federal rebate is that it can be combined with existing state-level battery rebates or incentives —giving you even greater savings. Our team will help you explore every available option to maximise your return on investment.
Power Your Future with Confidence
Battery storage gives you the freedom to store excess solar power during the day and use it in the evening, during blackouts, or at times of high energy demand. This not only reduces your reliance on the grid, but it also helps cut your electricity bills and carbon footprint.
With the rebate in place, there’s never been a better time to upgrade your home or business with battery storage. And with SolaXs, you’re not just getting a product—you’re getting a local team committed to your energy success.
