Government rebates for solar and battery

You can save money on a rooftop solar system for your home or business through a range of government assistance schemes.

The Australian Government's Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) reduces the cost of most new residential and business rooftop solar systems.

From 1 July 2025, the Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program is providing around a 30% discount on the cost of installing a battery as part of an expansion to the SRES.

Rebates and loans are also provided by some state and territory governments and local councils.
