Maximizing Your Savings: Apply for a Victoria Solar Rebate

Under the Victorian Solar Homes, eligible households can claim a rebate up to $2,225 on the cost of buying and installing a solar PV system. The program is an initiative of the Andrews Labor Government and came into effect in August 2018.

The remainder of the cost can be paid through an interest-free loan.

The government has also committed to providing  half price solar batteries for 10,000 households. The $40 million energy storage plan is part of the Victorian Solar Homes initiative.

Now is the time to install solar panels and slash your power bills!

Installed your system prior to November 1 2009? You are also eligible for the rebate — see below

Am I eligible for the Victorian Solar Homes rebate?

To be eligible for the Solar Homes program, you and your household must meet the criteria. These include:

  • a combined annual household income before tax of less than $180,000;
  • proof you are the owner-occupier of a home valued at under $3,000,000 (a copy of a recent council rates notice is required);
  • confirmation your home doesn’t currently have a solar power panel system installed; and
  • choosing Clean Energy Council (CEC) Approved Products (for solar panels) and a CEC Accredited Installer (such as Energy Matters).

Good news if you installed your solar PV system before November 1  2009

Did you install your solar panel system before the commencement of the Premium Feed-in Tariff (PFiT) on November 1, 2009?

If so, you are eligible for a Solar Homes program rebate to update or replace your current solar power system in Melbourne.

Your Distribution Network Service Provider (e.g. Citipower, Jemena) can tell you if your system was connected to the grid before the start of the PFiT.
