Cheaper Home Battery Rebate, It's Just the Beginning

Fourteen years ago, the solar rebate program changed everything.

It helped millions of Australians slash their energy bills, transformed our national grid, and supercharged the renewables industry. That same playbook is now being used for batteries - and if history is anything to go by, we’re standing at the edge of a serious battery boom.

So what does this mean for everyday Australians?

It means that the Cheaper Home Battery Scheme isn’t just another rebate - it’s a proven model for lowering household energy costs and giving families more control over their power. But just like with solar, success comes down to one thing: choosing the right installer and the right product.

What to Look for in a Battery Installer

When you're spending thousands on a home battery, do your homework.

Look for installers with a solid reputation - read the reviews, check out forums, ask questions. At the end of the day, your installer will be the one guiding you to the best product for your home and ensuring it’s installed to the highest standard.

Australia’s battery industry is one of the most highly regulated in the world, and for good reason. Safety matters. Compliance matters. That’s why Ampaura entered the Australian market first; We knew if we could meet Australian standards, we could meet global ones.

What to Know About the Battery Itself

Yes, most residential systems now come with a 10-year warranty, including ours at Ampaura. But don’t stop there. Ask about:

• Cycle life – How many charge/discharge cycles can it handle?
  
  

• Corrosion resistance – What warranty is offered if you live near the coast?
  
  

• Component quality – Is the wiring premium? What brand are the switches?
  
  

These are the things professional installers are trained to spot - because not all batteries are built the same.

Why Post-Sale Support Matters

Even the best batteries occasionally need attention. The question is: how easily can that happen?

That’s where our Ampaura Connect platform comes in. It gives your installer full visibility into your battery’s health, so if there’s ever a problem, they can diagnose and fix it quickly. No guesswork. No delays. Just powerful, simple support.

Final Thought

If you’ve been considering a battery, there’s never been a better time. The rebate is live. The market’s maturing. The products are smarter, safer, and more affordable.

Just be sure you work with someone who knows what they’re doing—and make sure the product backing your energy independence is ready for the long haul.
