Powering The Future: Home Battery Storage Solutions

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is a real game-changer for households across Victoria. With upfront rebates covering up to 30% of the battery system cost, the government’s made it a lot easier to take control of your energy use. At Australian Energy Upgrades, we’re already helping people in Melbourne, Geelong, Colac, Bendigo, Ballarat, and Mornington get in on the action.

Battery stocks are already running low nationwide, so if you’ve been thinking about getting one installed, now’s the best time to jump on it. We work with trusted brands like Tesla, Sungrow, Sigenergy & Goodwe – all eligible under the rebate. The program’s already live, but rebate amounts will gradually shrink each year until 2030. Getting in early means better savings and a quicker payback. Contact us now to discuss your options.

Electrify your home

More and more Victorians are moving away from gas and switching to all-electric living, powered by solar and battery systems. We make the change easy, with everything from hot water upgrades to EV chargers and heating solutions.

Flexible financing

Going electric or adding a battery isn’t a small step, but it doesn’t have to be a stretch. We’ve got flexible finance options to make it more doable, so you can start saving on energy while still accessing the rebates from day one.

Rebate-ready support

We’ll give you a free, clear, tailored quote and help you through the rebate process, so nothing slips through the cracks. Stock is moving fast, so it’s best to book early, lock in your rebate, and take the first step toward a smarter energy setup.

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is here and demand is skyrocketing

This $2.3 billion initiative was rolled out to help more households store the solar energy they produce, so they can use it later – like in the evening, during outages or when electricity prices spike. If you’ve already got solar panels, adding a battery lets you hang on to more of your own power instead of sending it back to the grid for a tiny feed-in return.

The rebate covers new batteries under 100 kilowatt-hours and is worked out based on how much energy you can actually use from the system. Our team can help you figure out if you’re eligible, check your setup, and recommend a battery that suits your needs and ticks all the boxes for the rebate. Whether you’re looking to cut your bills or move towards full electrification, this might just be the smartest time to get on board.

Why solar batteries aren’t really optional anymore

Electricity prices keep climbing, and feed-in tariffs have dropped so low they’re barely worth mentioning. That’s where batteries come in – they let you shift your solar power into the evening, cut down on grid use, and make better use of what your panels produce.

This is especially handy for households that use more energy at night, people working from home, or anyone who just wants to rely less on the grid. All eligible systems come with Virtual Power Plant capability too, which means your setup can be part of a broader network for energy sharing and demand response in future. If you’re based in Melbourne or nearby spots like Ballarat, Bendigo, Mornington or Geelong, getting a battery installed could help lower your bills and give you more control over your power.

Customer Service was professional and thorough. As someone who isn’t all that familiar with solar systems and the process involved, no question was too difficult to answer which gave me comfort and confidence. The tradespeople kept their promise, arriving on time and delivering the desired outcomes.
