Eligible households can receive a subsidy of up to $6,000 towards the cost of a home battery system. This subsidy helps to reduce the upfront cost of installing a battery and allows households to store excess Solar energy for use during peak times or when the sun is not shining.
By installing a home battery system, households can reduce their reliance on the grid, lower their electricity bills, and increase their energy independence. This scheme is part of South Australia’s efforts to transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy system.
To be eligible for the Home Battery Scheme, households must meet certain criteria, such as having an existing Solar PV system, using a Clean Energy Council approved battery system, and meeting certain technical requirements. Interested households can apply for the subsidy through the Home Battery Scheme website.
Overall, the Home Battery Scheme in South Australia is a valuable initiative that supports households in adopting renewable energy technologies and reducing their carbon footprint.
