Home batteries have been “the next big thing” for years. But in 2025, with new rebates, smarter technology, and rising energy costs, they’re finally in reach for many households.

If you’re wondering whether a battery is worth it, you’re not alone. Let’s explore the costs, savings, and benefits to help you decide

How much does a home battery cost in 2025?

The upfront cost of a home battery depends on the size of the system and installation. At Flow Power, our residential pricing provides a clear breakdown of costs and options for households.

While the investment may feel significant, 2025 rebates have reduced the barrier for many Australians – making batteries more accessible than ever.

What rebates or incentives are available?

From 1 July 2025, the federal government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program has made batteries more affordable than ever.

• Up to 30% off the cost of a battery (around $3,700 on a 10 kWh system)
• Tens of thousands of households already signed up, with over 1,000 installs per day in the first month

This has been the turning point for many families who previously saw batteries as out of reach.

It’s important to note that government rebates are only available if you have solar installed. In addition to the federal rebate, Flow Power is offering $1,200 off batteries, making the switch to clean energy storage even more affordable.

What are the benefits beyond cost savings?

For most households, it’s not just about the numbers. A battery also means:

• Backup power during blackouts – keeping the fridge, Wi-Fi and lights running
• Energy independence – store solar during the day, use it at night when prices are high (if you are on a variable or wholesale pricing plan)
• Smarter tech – today’s lithium batteries are safer, more efficient, and last longer (often warrantied for 10 years or more)

It’s control, convenience, and peace of mind.

Is 2025 the best time to install a battery?

In short: yes.

• Prices are lower thanks to rebates
• Battery technology has matured, making them more reliable
• Demand is high, but programs like Flow Power’s installation support mean you can access trusted providers without the guesswork. Our technical team will guide you through the whole process, handling everything from installation to government rebates for you. We prioritise safety and quality above all else.
• Government rebates are also set to gradually decline over the coming year, so if you want to get the most from the current incentives, now is the time to purchase.

Industry experts agree this is the year when batteries shift from “nice idea” to “smart household investment”.

Taking control of your energy

In 2025, a home battery is no longer just about going green – it’s about taking control. Lower costs, shorter payback times, and smarter technology mean more Australian households are saying yes to storage.

With Flow Power’s plans and tools, you can make the most of your battery – storing energy when it’s cheapest, using it when it’s most valuable, and taking the stress out of energy bills.
