How the South Australia Home Battery Rebate Works
Rather than a direct rebate, the SA scheme subsidises the interest rate on a loan through participating lenders. The government pays a portion of interest, reducing your effective rate significantly. Many households pay $0 out of pocket upfront.
Eligibility Requirements
- ✓ South Australian homeowner or property investor
- ✓ Battery must be from the SA Home Battery Scheme approved product list
- ✓ Must use a registered SA Home Battery Scheme installer
- ✓ Property must be in a SA Power Networks distribution area
