Solar Batteries Northern Territory
Reduce your carbon footprint,
increase your savings, and achieve energy independence.
Solar panels provide homeowners and commercial clients in the Northern Territory with clean, green and sustainable energy. The energy generated by your solar PV system can be used immediately, returned to the grid, or saved for later use. If you want to accomplish the latter, you will need solar batteries.
A solar battery lets you control and optimise your solar power usage. In short, it gives you the ability to make the most of your solar PV system.
Solar batteries offer numerous benefits, including:
- Stores solar energy and use it when you need it most
- Maximises the efficiency of your solar panels
- Improves your environmental sustainability
- Opens up a new revenue stream by selling extra energy back to the grid
- Shows your commitment to eco-friendly business practices (for businesses)

SOLAR BATTERY GRANTS FOR NORTHERN TERRITORY HOMES & BUSINESSES
The Home and Business Battery Scheme in the Northern Territory (NT) offers grants to homeowners, businesses, and not-for-profit organisations to help purchase and install solar batteries and inverters. This initiative aims to lower energy costs and enhance energy independence for NT residents.
From 1 December 2024, eligible applicants can receive:
- $400 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of usable battery system capacity
- Up to a maximum grant of $12,000
This grant applies to battery systems approved by the Clean Energy Council (CEC) and those that are Virtual Power Plant (VPP) capable. Check the Clean Energy Council website for the list of eligible battery products.
If your system produces excess electricity, it will either be exported to the grid or used to charge an on-site battery.
From 1 July 2025, a feed-in tariff of 18.66 cents per kWh will apply for electricity exported to the grid between 3 PM and 9 PM.

Join a VPP to Harness the Full Potential of Your Solar Power System
Solar generation allows you to save on your monthly power bill, but participating in a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) lets you take your savings even further. In major cities across the Northern Territory, the growing uptake of solar power is putting pressure on the grid, particularly during periods of high solar energy production.
By joining a VPP, consumers in the Northern Territory can generate their own electricity, store it in solar batteries, and sell excess energy to providers when demand on the main grid is high—helping to stabilise the network while maximising savings.
What Is a VPP?
VPP, or a virtual power plant, enables consumers to reduce their bills by avoiding peak demand tariffs, as well as generating extra revenue by selling their electricity.
It is a cloud-based network of residential solar power systems that are operated by a centralised smart control mechanism. One of the program's main objectives is to help stabilise the grid during times of need. Eligibility to participate in a VPP depends on the type of solar battery that you have.
Discovery Energy VPP
Discovery Energy Virtual Power Plant (VPP) enables solar consumers to make the most out of their solar power systems. It uses proprietary software to help solar users maximise results.
The Benefits of Joining the Discovery Energy VPP
