Now is the perfect time.

Have you been thinking about solar for your farm but held back because rebates seemed too small? Good news: the Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program changes everything.

This program gives around 30% off the upfront cost of installing a battery system (between 5 kWh and 100 kWh). With a battery, you can store solar energy during the day and use it when you need it most. That means lower power bills and less reliance on the grid.

Why It Matters for Farmers

• Already have solar? A battery lets you keep extra energy on-site for evening work or when rebates are highest.
• Planning a new solar system? Pair it with a battery to maximise your investment and boost energy independence.
• Works for on-grid and off-grid sites, so it suits many farming setups.

Key Points

• Discount applied upfront by accredited installers—no tricky paperwork.
• Available for batteries linked to new or existing solar PV systems.
• Program runs until 2030, but rebates will drop over time.

This is a rare chance to make renewable energy affordable and practical for your farm. If you’ve been waiting for the right time, this is it.
