A look this morning revealed there were just 281 left. After these are snapped up, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solar.vic.gov.au\/solar-battery-rebate\">the subsidy<\/a> will reduce to a maximum $3,500 &#8211; a $674 drop.<\/p>\n<p>Over the border in South Australia, the state&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homebatteryscheme.sa.gov.au\/\">Home Battery Scheme<\/a> subsidy currently offers up to a maximum of $3,000 (Step 3 phase). Once those are gone, then Step 4 phase kicks in offering up to a $2,000 maximum.<\/p>\n<p>As for how uptake has been looking in SA, in late July there were around 1,500 subsidies at the step 3 level still available. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sa-battery-update-mb2136\/\">Around this time last month<\/a>, there were 770 left. As at last Thursday, there were fewer than 350 subsidies still up for grabs. So, it&#8217;s looking like there may only be a week or two left for the more generous incentive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;-<br \/>\n<strong>UPDATE September 27:<\/strong> It turned out to be less than that &#8211; last Friday (September 24), the SA Home Battery Scheme subsidy reduced from a maximum subsidy of $3,000 to $2,000.<br \/>\n&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Both reductions are significant, but before you skedaddle with view to grabbing a subsidy while they&#8217;re hot &#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Solar Batteries &#8211; Do Your Research<\/h2>\n<p>While the pressure may now really be on to score a more generous subsidy, don&#8217;t let fear of missing out cloud your judgement. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/\">Solar battery storage<\/a> is a big investment, and whether it&#8217;s a good investment or even a worthwhile purchase for you depends on your motivations and circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not overly familiar with home batteries, SolarQuotes Founder Finn recently added three new comprehensive but easy-to-understand\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/101-guides\/\">&#8220;101&#8221; guides<\/a> to step you through what you should know; which will help you make a better-informed decision. It&#8217;s really good information and well worth investing the time to read through the guides.<\/p>\n<p>First is his guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/101-guides\/understanding-batteries\/\">understanding solar batteries<\/a> \u2013 running through the basics of how a home battery works, energy storage options and how they can save you money on your electricity bills.<\/p>\n<p>Next up is the all-important guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/101-guides\/buying-batteries\/\">buying solar battery storage<\/a> &#8211; determining if if it&#8217;s right for you, how to go about purchasing a good quality, competently installed home battery system at a reasonable price, and how to avoid the pitfalls. Part 3 is about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/101-guides\/owning-batteries\/\">owning a battery system<\/a> &#8211; maximising the benefits home energy storage can provide.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these guides, there are other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/tools\/\">useful tools<\/a> on SQ for Australians considering home energy storage. These include the very popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/comparison-table\/\">solar battery comparison<\/a> table where you can compare specifications and estimated pricing of a bunch of models side-by-side.<\/p>\n<p>Another tool well worth checking out is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar-calculator\/\">solar and battery calculator<\/a>, which enables you to see the estimated payback period on a battery separated from the payback on just installing solar panels &#8211; the results can be quite an eye-opener.<\/p>\n<p>You can also check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/reviews\/\">solar battery reviews<\/a> for dozens of brands submitted by Australians who have had systems installed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Significant reductions are nearing for home battery storage subsidies in both Victoria and South Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":54176,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SA And VIC Solar Battery Rebate Reductions Loom - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Significant reductions are nearing for home battery storage subsidies in both Victoria and South Australia.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sa-vic-battery-subsidy-mb2164\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SA And VIC Solar Battery Rebate Reductions Loom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Significant reductions are nearing for home battery storage subsidies in both Victoria and South Australia.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sa-vic-battery-subsidy-mb2164\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-09-21T20:19:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-09-27T03:12:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sa-vic-battery-rebate.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sa-vic-battery-subsidy-mb2164\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sa-vic-battery-subsidy-mb2164\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"SA And VIC Solar Battery Rebate Reductions Loom\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-09-21T20:19:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-09-27T03:12:56+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sa-vic-battery-subsidy-mb2164\/\"},\"wordCount\":525,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sa-vic-battery-subsidy-mb2164\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sa-vic-battery-rebate.png\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
