The Next Generation Energy Storage Grants provides Australian Capital Territory households and businesses with a discount to install a battery storage unit connected to a new or existing rooftop solar PV system.
Through this program, the ACT Government is subsidising battery storage in around 5000 Canberra homes and businesses. 4 battery storage and solar PV companies have been selected to do the installations through a competitive process.
A typical household system of 5kW would be eligible for up to around $4000 in rebates.
To be eligible for a rebate, your new battery system must:
be a new system that has not already been supported by the program
be connected to the electricity grid
be coupled with solar panels
include a new or existing inverter that meets the Next Gen requirements.**
Solar panel systems currently supported by a premium feed in tariff (FiT) are not eligible for support under the program. However, you may be able to add a new solar and battery system at your residence to access the rebate.
For eligible systems, the rebate is automatically included in the cost of the system quoted by providers.
**Solahart Canberra will be able to discuss your requirements with you and advise which systems are eligible for support.

Tesla Powerwall 2
Featuring more than twice the energy storage capacity of the original version with 13.5 kWh capacity, Powerwall 2 is a battery for homes and small businesses that stores energy free from the sun and delivers clean, reliable electricity when the sun is not shining. Compact, scalable and with a built-in inverter, installation is simple, either indoor or outdoor.
Production for Powerwall 2 begins soon at the Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada, with installations in Australia to follow this year.
What Is Powerwall 2?
Powerwall 2 is a home battery that charges during the day using electricity generated from solar panels or from the grid when utility rates are low. It powers your home in the evening when the sun is not shining or when the utility rates are higher.
First generation home batteries were bulky, expensive to install and expensive to maintain. In contrast, Tesla Powerwall 2 lithium ion battery inherits Tesla's proven automotive battery technology to power your home safely and economically. It enables you to maximise self-consumption of solar power generation by replacing electricity from the grid with stored energy from your PV system after the sun goes down. It is easy to install, completely automated and requires no maintenance.
