The Home Battery Scheme aims to encourage households to invest in battery storage systems to store excess Solar energy generated during the day for use during peak times or at night. This helps reduce reliance on the grid and lowers electricity bills.
To be eligible for the subsidy, homeowners must meet certain criteria such as having an existing Solar PV system, using an approved battery system, and using an approved installer. The subsidy amount is typically based on the kilowatt-hour (kWh) capacity of the battery system installed.
By participating in the Home Battery Scheme, homeowners can not only save money on their electricity bills but also reduce their carbon footprint by using more renewable energy. The scheme also helps support the growth of the home battery industry in South Australia, creating jobs and economic opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
Overall, the Home Battery Scheme is a win-win for both homeowners and the environment, promoting the adoption of clean energy technologies and reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels.
