About the Program

The NSW Cheaper Home Batteries Program Explained

The NSW Government's Cheaper Home Batteries Program is designed to make home battery storage more affordable for NSW households. The rebate is applied as a point-of-sale discount — you simply pay less upfront, and we claim the rebate on your behalf.

The program is available to residential and small business customers across NSW who meet the eligibility criteria below. Rebates are applied on a first-come, first-served basis, so claiming early is recommended.

How the Rebate Works

SimpliSolar is an approved program participant. When you book your battery installation through us, we apply the rebate directly to your invoice. There are no forms for you to fill in and no money to claim back.
