How It Works
How the SA Battery Rebate Works
The SA Home Battery Scheme is a state government subsidy designed to make home battery storage more affordable for South Australian households. It directly reduces the upfront cost of purchasing and installing a battery system.
The subsidy is available to SA homeowners who have solar panels installed — or who are installing solar at the same time as their battery. You must use an approved system installer and choose a battery from the government's approved products list. As an approved installer, ElectricalPro handles the entire process from application to installation.
- Own or be purchasing a home in SA
- Have solar panels installed (or installing with battery)
- Use an approved system installer
- Battery must be on the approved products list

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the SA battery rebate?
The SA Home Battery Scheme provides subsidies of $2,000 to $4,000 depending on battery capacity. Energy concession holders may receive an additional $1,000, bringing the total potential subsidy to $5,000. The exact amount depends on the size of your battery system and your eligibility category.
Am I eligible for the battery rebate?
To be eligible, you must own or be purchasing a home in South Australia, have solar panels installed (or be installing them at the same time as the battery), use an approved system installer like ElectricalPro, and choose a battery from the approved products list. Rental properties and businesses are generally not eligible.
Can I get the rebate if I already have solar?
Yes, absolutely. If you already have a solar system on your roof, you can still apply for the battery rebate. In fact, adding a battery to an existing solar system is one of the most common scenarios we see. Your solar system just needs to be in good working order.
How long does the rebate application take?
The application process typically takes 2–4 weeks from submission to approval. We handle all paperwork on your behalf, and installation can usually be scheduled within 1–2 weeks of approval. The entire process from initial consultation to a working battery system is generally 4–8 weeks.
Is the rebate still available?
The SA Home Battery Scheme operates on a first-come, first-served basis and is subject to available funding. As of early 2026, the scheme remains open, but we recommend acting sooner rather than later as funding can be exhausted at any time. Contact us for the latest availability.
Can I combine the rebate with finance?
Yes, you can use the battery rebate in conjunction with finance options. The subsidy reduces the upfront cost of your battery system, and you can finance the remaining balance. We can discuss payment plan options during your free consultation to find a solution that fits your budget.
