South Australia is a great place to invest in renewable energy with several rebates and incentives available. An overview has been provided for Solar, Battery Storage and Electric Vehicles. Contact the Alkira Energy team today to find out more information and how you can save.
Households and small businesses across Australia that install a small scale renewable energy system (such as a solar system) may be able to receive a benefit under the Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) to help with the purchase cost.
For the average household system, the government will provide a rebate of approximately $3,000. The length of time required for an investment to recover its initial outlay is 2-3 years.
In addition to the upfront rebates, you will also receive a financial incentive called a solar feed-in tariff, for every kilowatt hour of electricity you export back to the grid. South Australian feed-in tariffs are set by your electricity retailer. If you can, it’s worth switching to a retailer with a higher feed-in tariff rate, but the best way to use solar is to consume the power that your system generates directly.

The SA Home Battery Scheme is a State Government subsidy which helps homeowners to pay for the installation of home battery systems.
The Scheme is now available to 40,000 households in the state, with all South Australian’s who have households on the grid given the opportunity to access a share of $100 million in State Government subsidies.
The subsidy is calculated on the kilowatt hour capacity of the battery you choose to purchase. In addition, to assist low-income households who wish to access the Scheme, Energy Concession Holders are eligible for a higher subsidy.
You can receive $150 for every kWh of battery storage capacity you install up to a maximum of $2,000. For example, if you install a 10kWh battery, you will save $1,500. If you are an Energy Concession holder, you can receive up to a $250 rebate per kWh of storage.
The Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) is administering a $12.25 million Electric Vehicle (EV) Smart Charging Subsidy, to provide up to 7,500 subsidies of up to $2,000 to households installing EV smart charging systems.
The EV Smart Charging Subsidy will support households installing 7kW or above EV smart charging systems that actively manage EV charging to optimise benefits for the vehicle owner and support South Australia’s electricity grid.
Open to all South Australian households with new and existing battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, the Subsidy is limited to one smart charging subsidy per residential property. Subsidies are only available for approved EV smart charging systems that are installed by an EV Smart Charging Subsidy approved retailer’s installer.
To support the uptake of electric vehicle the government has introduced an electric vehicle subsidy package. The $22.7 million subsidy package includes a $3,000 purchases subsidy and a 3-year registration exemption for the purchase of eligible new battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.
The $3,000 purchase subsidy is available for the first 7,000 eligible battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles registered in South Australia from 28 October 2021. Individuals are eligible for one new EV subsidy and businesses for two, with the vehicles registered in South Australia and valued below $68,750 (including GST).
A three year registration exemption is also available for new battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles first registered from 28 October 2021 until 30 June 2025. Unlike the upfront purchases subsidy, there is no limit on the number of new EV’s that can receive the registration exemption during the eligible time period, subject to the eligibility criteria being met.
