The scheme aims to support households and businesses in regional South Australia to reduce their electricity bills and increase their energy independence by storing excess Solar energy generated during the day for use at night or during peak times.
Eligible participants can receive a subsidy of up to $6,000 for the purchase and installation of a Solar battery system, with additional rebates available for low-income households and community groups. The scheme is part of the government’s commitment to transitioning to a renewable energy future and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
To be eligible for the Regional Solar Battery Scheme, applicants must meet certain criteria, such as being located in a designated regional area, having an existing Solar PV system installed, and meeting specific technical requirements for the battery system.
Overall, the Regional Solar Battery Scheme aims to support regional communities in South Australia to harness the benefits of Solar energy and reduce their reliance on traditional grid electricity, leading to a more sustainable and resilient energy future for the state.
