Government Rebates
Cheaper Home Batteries
The $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program is now available to help more people install batteries.
Australia is a world leader in rooftop solar with more than 4 million rooftop solar PV systems, however only one in 40 households have installed batteries. The high upfront cost of batteries means installing batteries is out of reach for many households and businesses.
Australian households, businesses and community organisations can now get a discount of around 30% on the upfront cost of installing small-scale battery systems (5 kWh to 100 kWh).
The discount is:
- available for batteries connected to new or existing solar PV systems
- funded by the government to ensure no extra costs are passed on to consumers
- based on the battery’s usable capacity and the number of small-scale technology certificates the battery is eligible for
- going to be reviewed at least annually and will gradually decrease until 2030, in line with reducing battery prices.

STC Rebates
The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme creates a financial incentive for individuals and small businesses to install eligible small-scale renewable energy systems such as solar panel systems.
It does this through the creation of small-scale technology certificates (STCs) which Renewable Energy Target liable entities have a legal obligation to buy and surrender to the Clean Energy Regulator on a quarterly basis.
Small-scale technology certificates are provided “up front” for the system’s expected power generation over a 15 year period or, from 2017, from the installation year until 2030 when the scheme ends. This renewable electricity replaces electricity generated from non-renewable sources.
Generally, householders who purchase these systems assign the right to create their certificates to an agent in return for a lower purchase price. The level of this benefit differs across the country depending on the level of solar energy.
Small-scale technology certificates can be created following the installation of an eligible system, and are calculated based on the amount of electricity a system produces or replaces (that is, electricity from non-renewable sources).
The Renewable Energy Target is supported by an online registry system, called the REC Registry, which facilitates the creation, validation, auditing and transfer of certificates. Once created and validated, these certificates act as a form of currency and can be sold to recoup a portion of the cost of purchasing and installing the system, or transferred to other individuals and businesses at a negotiated price.
Please visit the Clean Energy Regulator website for more information about how STCs work and how they are calculated.
