The Cheaper [Business] Battery Program

From now until December 31st, Australian businesses are eligible for a 30% discount on a solar battery via the federal battery rebate.

This year, the Australian Government unveiled the most generous federal energy rebate we’ve ever seen. It’s called the Cheaper Home Batteries Program – but don’t let the name fool you; it applies to businesses and organisations too.

Currently, businesses stand to save around 30% on a commercial solar battery. On a 39 kWh battery, that translates to over $13,000 off the equipment price.

But you’ll need to act quickly if you want to enjoy these savings – the rebate amount will start to gradually reduce from 1 January 2026.

Want to take advantage of this rebate with $0 capital outlay?

You can make this offer even sweeter by pairing it with a $0 upfront Smart Ease Payment Plan.

With the 30% discount applied, your monthly energy bill savings will likely exceed your Smart Ease repayments, putting your business in a cash-flow positive position from day one.
