Under the Solar Communities Program, the Australian Federal Government will provide $2.2 million in grants to community organisations in eligible regions to undertake small-scale renewable energy generation and energy storage projects.
This includes the purchase and installation of solar PV systems, battery storage systems, and solar hot water systems. The minimum grant amount is $2,500 and maximum grant amount is $12,500, with the program funding up to 100% of eligible expenditure.
