As discussions grow around the potential Federal Government Cheaper Home Batteries Program, PowerPlus Energy, a long-standing Australian provider of battery energy storage systems, is ready to support Australian households with a new residential all-in-one battery solution. This product is locally designed for homeowners looking to take charge of their energy use, whether for environmental, financial, or lifestyle reasons.

If introduced, the proposed $2.3 billion rebate scheme would reduce the upfront cost of home battery systems by up to 30%, helping more Australians take control of their energy use, reduce the electricity grid dependency and improve household resilience.

“With this rebate, Australians will have a real opportunity to consider home energy storage,” said Shane Pollard, Executive General Manager at PowerPlus Energy. “With our new residential product, homeowners don’t have to compromise. They’ll get a high-performance battery—developed by an Australian company, supported by local experts, and backed by PowerPlus’ reputation for reliability and quality—at a price that makes sense for Australian households.”

Designed for both new and existing solar installations, the upcoming system will offer:

• Simple integration with solar systems
• Energy trading capabilities (VPP ready)
• Installer-friendly setup with robust quality features
• Local support and technical service
• Expected eligibility under proposed rebate guidelines

The new residential system builds on PowerPlus Energy’s trusted track record as a leader in off-grid energy solutions, with experience in commercial, off-grid, fringe-of-grid and remote community applications, all built for Australian conditions.

“As the conversation around household energy independence grows, we’re committed to ensuring Australians have access to reliable, locally supported solutions—regardless of where policy lands,” Shane added.

PowerPlus Energy will release more information about the new system in the coming weeks.
