The Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program launches on 1^st July 2025, offering a generous upfront discount on eligible home batteries — helping more households store solar energy, save on power bills, and reduce reliance on the grid.

At PowerEase, we’re here to guide you through it — and highlight why DEYE battery systems are a top pick under the new scheme.

What’s the Cheaper Home Batteries Program?

This program gives you an upfront discount based on the battery’s usable capacity, rather than a refund later. The rebate is applied through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES).

In 2025, the rebate is expected to be around $335 per usable kilowatt-hour (kWh) of battery storage — that’s about 30% off the total battery cost.

Key Program Info at a Glance:

• Batteries sized between 5 kWh and 100 kWh, with rebates capped at 50 kWh per system
• Must be paired with existing or new rooftop solar eligible under the small-scale scheme
• Batteries and inverters must be CEC-approved and VPP-capable (Virtual Power Plant ready)
• Rebates can be combined with applicable state incentives
• Only one rebate per electricity meter/property
• EV batteries and EV chargers are not included

The program supports both on-grid and off-grid systems, with on-grid installs required to be VPP-capable.

Example: How Much Can You Save with DEYE Batteries?

These savings are applied upfront, not as a refund later — so you pay less from day one. Both models are CEC-approved, VPP-ready, and perfect for modern solar homes.

• Reserve your preferred DEYE model
• Schedule installation with an accredited installer

Who Can Apply?

Government guidelines currently do not distinguish between residential (homeowners and landlords) and commercial installations — so small businesses, community groups, and public facilities are eligible too.
