Cheaper Home Batteries Program

If you have an eligible concession card, you may be able to apply for up to $5,000 in rebates through the Home Energy Support Program . Rebates can cover up to half the cost of energy efficiency upgrades including ceiling insulation, solar panels powering business Grant and switching from gas to efficient electric appliances. You can combine the rebate with a zero-interest loan of up to $10,000 through the Sustainable Household Scheme to reduce upfront costs. The Home and Business Battery Scheme supports the Northern Territory Government’s plan for 50 percent renewable energy by 2030. Launched in June 2023, the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan offers £6,000 total, with £1,250 as a grant and another optional £4,750 as a loan. As of June 2024, this scheme is no longer providing new referrals for solar panels and solar energy storage systems.
From today residents across the state can take advantage of the NSW Government's new incentive to make battery storage more affordable. Step one – The eligibility of all applications is checked to ensure the applicant and their proposed activity(ies) meet the program criteria. Department of Energy Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) is available to provide support prior to applications opening to discuss project ideas, application documentation and alignment with program objectives. If you have any questions about this incentive or have issues with your battery, you should contact your installer.

However, it is worth noting that these incentives will only be available for batteries installed from November 1st, 2024. Investing in solar will minimise your operational costs, reduce your company’s carbon footprint, and prepare it for the future. A commercial property with a solar installation is excellent for business. To learn everything you need to know to make an informed decision, see our up-to-date home battery guide. It includes a comparison table where you can view estimated pricing (before incentives) and specifications of residential energy storage solutions side-by-side.
Households with a supplier that's either provided them with credit in the past 13 weeks or entered into an energy debt repayment plan with them may also be eligible. The Labour government is in the process of launching the Warm Homes Plan, which is set to help households all over the country. Sunsave Plus, the UK’s first solar subscription, will provide you with best-in-class kit, all in one easy solar & battery package that comes with a 20-year Sunsave Guarantee. Act now to secure the rebate (~465 STCs) and solar STCs before they expire (2028 and 2030, respectively). VPPs let you feed energy to Queensland’s grid, supporting stability and potentially earning income.
And there’s always the challenge of cutting through vendor spin and avoiding aggressive sales tactics. A Virtual Power Plant is a network of connected solar battery systems that work together to supply energy to the grid. Your VPP provider remotely controls your battery’s energy dispatch to support the grid during peak demand. The NSW battery installation rebate is only available for new battery installations.

Different suppliers may offer different pricing models, so it’s important to get quotes from multiple suppliers. The NSW battery rebate applies to solar batteries with a nominal capacity between 2kWh and 28kWh. This ensures that the battery is suitable for most residential and small business energy needs while complying with the state’s energy storage standards.
Batteries must meet capacity, safety, warranty, and VPP-compatibility requirements. Yes — you can combine the Federal battery rebate and the NSW VPP incentive, but not the former NSW installation rebate. The widespread adoption of batteries will contribute to a more stable and reliable electricity grid by providing backup power and helping to manage peak demand. Investing in a home battery is an excellent way to future-proof your home against rising electricity prices. While solar feed-in tariffs continue to decline, self-consuming your solar power ensures you get the maximum financial benefit from your system. I think that just about covers it for now — we’ve updated the Cheaper Home Batteries explainer with this information.

With Solar Battery Group, you can rest assured that we’ll handle all the paperwork for you, allowing us to apply the incentive directly at the point of sale. To be eligible, you must be a home or business owner in NSW with an existing rooftop solar PV system that complies with relevant standards and regulations. There are currently NO rebates or incentives for commercial solar in Western Australia. There are currently NO rebates or incentives for commercial solar in Queensland. To be eligible, you must provide proof of being an NT-registered electric vehicle and meet the property requirements relevant to you as a business owner.
In the next few weeks, The NSW Government will offer a new incentive to help households and businesses afford solar batteries. The Home and Business Battery Scheme offers eligible homeowners and businesses access to up to $12,000 for a battery subsidy of $400 per kilowatt-hour of usable system capacity. For typical UK homes connected to the grid with a 4kW or 5kW solar system, a 6kWh to 12kWh battery is recommended. This allows you to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night. Yes, many financial institutions offer low-interest or interest-free loans to help with the upfront cost of solar systems.

In 2020, the then-Territory Labor NT Government launched its Home and Business Battery Scheme. It originally offered a straight-up grant of $6,000 for batteries with a minimum 7kWh capacity, then it changed to $400 per kWh of usable battery capacity, up to a maximum $5,000. By providing your details, you agree that we can contact you to discuss installation of our solar and battery products, as well as electricity plans from selected retailers over the phone or at your home. If you’re one of the ~2/3 million people who live in the Hunter region in NSW, you may be eligible for the pilot scheme. The purpose of the scheme is to aid the transition to a green, clean, renewable economy.
Always get multiple quotes from approved suppliers to ensure competitive pricing. By following these steps carefully, you can ensure a smooth application process and maximise your rebate savings. Owners of multiple eligible properties can apply for a separate rebate for each location, provided that each property has its own individual electricity meter, also known as the National Metering Identifier (NMI). Our solar and battery calculator can tell you the savings and payback figures for your desired system.
