The number of free batteries for bushfire victims wouldn&#8217;t be all that high &#8211; which works out to around 3,600 takers for the Home Battery Scheme since April. It&#8217;s quite a drop-off in uptake since the pre-subsidy cut rush, but no doubt the remaining subsidies at the Step Two level will be spoken for very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The South Australian Government notes the subsidy amount will continue to be phased down as uptake of the Scheme increases.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\" align=\"center\"><a class=\"btn-leave-a-review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/quote\/battery_feedback\/\">Have a battery?
