Home and Business Battery Scheme Now Closed
The NT Government’s Home and Business Battery Scheme has now reached its $6 million funding cap and is closed to new applications.
If you’ve already applied but haven’t been approved, your application will only be considered if extra funding becomes available — and there’s no guarantee it will be assessed.
Still want help with battery costs?
You may still be eligible for the Federal Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program, available nationwide since 1 July 2025. It originally offered around 30% off the battery system cost, but since 1 May 2026 the rebate is tiered by battery size. Full rate up to 14kWh, 60% of that rate for the 14-28kWh portion, and 15% for the 28-50kWh portion.
As NT households often need larger systems, it’s worth getting a specific quote rather than assuming the full 30% applies.
Solar for Multi-Dwellings Grant Scheme
The grant scheme helps apartment buildings, unit complexes and strata properties in the Northern Territory install shared solar and battery systems.
Eligible management corporations can receive up to $7,500 per dwelling (excluding GST), covering up to 50% of total installation costs for:
Shared solar PV systems
Solar-sharing technology
Smart meters
Battery storage systems
For example, a 10-unit complex could receive up to $75,000 towards a shared solar and battery installation.
The program is delivered by the NT Government’s Department of Mining and Energy and funded through the Australian Government’s Community Solar Banks Program.
See the NT Gov website for more information.
