The Australian Government will provide a 30% discount on eligible small-scale battery systems for households and small businesses, based on usable capacity and tapering off by 2030. This helps store clean solar energy when needed and lowers overall energy costs by reducing reliance on gas generation and grid infrastructure.

Discounts apply at point of sale through participating solar/battery retailers under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), administered by the Clean Energy Regulator, with updated regulations to include batteries.
