Solar Victorian Rebate

Target Solar being an authorised retailer will assist you in applying for your eligibility. Victorian households can benefit from the rebate only if they get their solar panels installed by a CEC approved solar provider.

Victorian Solar Home Rebate Program

Rebate Program

Up until now, adopting solar has been an expensive affair, but to share your burden, Solar Victoria is offering a maximum solar panel rebate of up to $1,850 for solar energy (PV) system installation, for homeowners and tenants’ rental properties. To bring the installation costs further down, householders have an opportunity to apply for an interest-free loan as a part of Solar Homes Program. The amount of the loan is equivalent to the rebate amount (i.e., up to $1,850) and a repayment tenure extending up to four years. With no upfront cost, if the total solar system cost is less than $3,700.

The mentioned government incentives and solar rebates program is allowing homeowners to take charge of their electricity bills which will help more of us to switch to solar energy. There are numerous benefits of solar energy, one of which is a saving of up to $890 per year on your electricity bills when you install solar energy.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for Solar Rebate Victoria 2019, a Victorian household is required to meet the stated criteria:

  • They are the owner-occupied property
  • The owners have a combined household taxable income of less than $1,80,000 (As per Australian Tax Office notice of assessment)
  • It is an existing property valued at under $3 million.
  • The owners do not have a pre-installed solar PV system. (This condition does not apply to early adopters who`ve installed solar systems before 1st November 2009, who wish to replace or expand their existing system)

Step 1

The households need to approach an authorized solar retailer and obtain a Victoria`s solar energy quote.

Step 2

The authorized retailer would then upload the Victorian solar rebate application form (quote) into Victorian solar rebate portal, which shall verify the application for the eligibility of the households on the preceding grounds.

Step 3

Upon the verification, a contract needs to be signed with an authorized retailer, and an eligibility number will be provided to the household to facilitate the installation process.

The rebate value under the Victorian Solar Rebate Program is ‘up to’ $1,850 or 50% of the price; whichever is lowest.

  • If you purchase a solar system for $3,000, you may be eligible for a $1,500 rebate
  • if you purchase a solar system for $3,700 you may be eligible for the maximum $1,850 rebate
  • remember if you get a system for $6,000 you can only apply for a $1,850 rebate because the rebate is capped at price $1,850.
    The Victorian government’s rebate is available on top of the federal scheme. Which means after receiving a solar rebate under the federal rebate scheme you are receiving further rebate of up to $1,850.

It means this is a very good time to go Solar and to make most out of the government Solar Homes Program.
