Grants available to help power installs

GRANTS of up to $6000 will be available to South Australians to help pay for the installation of a home battery system.

The State Government, along with the federally-owned Clean Energy Finance Corporation, will each provide $100m in funding for low-interest loans for the balance of the battery and new solar if required.

Households can visit a dedicated website where they can find a qualified system provider, search for an approved battery system, request a quote and apply for the subsidy and low-interest loan.

The subsidy will be scaled in line with the size of the home battery system purchased with energy concession holders able to access a higher subsidy.

More information on the Home Battery Scheme is available at homebatteryscheme.sa.gov.au or by calling 8463 3555.
