The Albanese Government has rolled out its Cheaper Home Batteries Program which could save people who install a new solar and battery system up to $2,300 a year.

Former 2GB and 9News broadcaster and current Clean Energy Council spokesman Chris O'Keefe told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, " If you've got rooftop solar, people listening right now know it saves them money."

"If you put a household battery with it, it can save you, instead of $1,300 a year, $2,300 a year off your power bill."

"The idea is bring the upfront cost down to make it more enticing for people to do it, and that benefits everybody because we've got one in four Australians that have got rooftop solar panels, yet only one in 40 have home batteries."

"So, clearly there's an opportunity there to plug that gap. If we plug it, it's good for people's bills." O'Keefe continued.
