The Home Battery Scheme aims to increase the adoption of renewable energy and reduce electricity costs for South Australian households. By installing a home battery system, homeowners can store excess Solar energy generated during the day and use it during peak times or at night, reducing their reliance on the grid and saving money on their electricity bills.
To be eligible for the Home Battery Scheme, homeowners must meet certain criteria, including having an existing Solar PV system with a capacity of at least 5kW, using an approved battery system, and engaging an approved battery provider. The subsidy amount is determined based on the size of the battery system installed, with larger systems receiving higher rebates.
Overall, the Home Battery Scheme offers an opportunity for South Australian homeowners to reduce their carbon footprint, save money on electricity bills, and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
