Why a battery

Why a home battery makes sense for you

A battery lets you use the solar energy you already make — instead of selling it back
for cents and buying it back at peak prices.

Beat the evening peak

Run your home at night on solar you stored during the day, not expensive peak-rate grid power.

Blackout backup

Keep the essentials — fridge, lights, wifi — running when the grid goes down.

Use more of your own solar

Stop exporting excess for a few cents. Store it and use it when you need it.

Hedge rising prices

Lock in more of your usage against grid price rises, year after year.

VPP-ready

Opt into a Virtual Power Plant later and earn by sharing stored energy.

Lower your footprint

Lean less on the grid and more on the clean energy from your own roof.

The rebate explained

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program

A federal program that takes roughly 30% off the upfront cost of an eligible home battery. The discount is applied at the point of sale through an accredited installer — so there’s no separate application for you to lodge. In Victoria you can stack it with Solar Victoria support where the criteria allow.
Figures are indicative and depend on battery size and current certificate values. Eligibility criteria apply.
