It’s July 1 — the official start of the Cheaper Home Batteries Program — and the day many households have been waiting for. Here’s a practical round-up of what you need to know to access the rebate and make the most of it.
The rebate, first announced by the Albanese Government in April, has gone through months of consultation and finalisation. Now that the details are locked in and the program is live, we’ve pulled together some of the key info, insights, and tools that will help you navigate the rollout confidently.
