Schemes that may apply

SA Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS)

Retailer-funded discounted or free upgrades — hot water, air conditioning, appliances — and VPP connection. It is not a fixed cash-rebate scheme; offers vary by retailer and provider.

Federal solar incentive (STCs)

Upfront discount on eligible rooftop solar for SA homes and businesses.

Cheaper Home Batteries Program

Around 30% off an eligible battery. SA's previous Home Battery Scheme has closed, so battery support is mainly federal plus REPS VPP connection.

City of Adelaide incentives verify current details

Adelaide CBD residents may have access to a separate council sustainability incentive. Confirm availability and current amounts.

Programs and amounts change regularly and depend on your circumstances. Details are indicative and should be verified against current scheme rules.

FAQ

Questions

No. REPS sets energy-saving targets for retailers, who then fund discounted or free upgrades. The South Australian government does not pay fixed cash rebates directly. Offers depend on which retailers and providers are active.

Yes — new targets for 2026–2030 were set in late 2025, and a larger share of activity is directed to priority households. This means availability and value can differ from previous years. Confirm current offers.

SA's dedicated Home Battery Scheme has closed. Battery support now comes mainly from the federal program, plus a REPS incentive for connecting a battery to an approved VPP. Eligibility should be confirmed.
