About the rebate

The Solar Homes Program provides rebates of up to $1,400 towards the installation of solar panel (PV) systems. These rebates are offered to Victorians with existing homes, homes under construction, and rental properties. Eligible customers who have previously received a rebate and have moved house can apply. If your system is over ten years’ old you can also apply to replace or upgrade your system. To further reduce installation costs, eligible Victorians can apply for an interest-free loan for an amount equivalent to their rebate amount. The loan is required to be repaid over four years or can be repaid sooner in one lump sum.

Am I eligible?

As an applicant, understanding the Solar Homes Program eligibility criteria is crucial. As a Victorian householder, you could be eligible for a solar panel (PV) rebate if you meet the following criteria:

• You are the owner-occupier of an existing property or the owner of a home under construction where the system is to be installed.
• The combined household taxable income of all owners is less than $210,000 per year.
• The property is valued at under $3 million, or a home under construction that will be valued at under $3 million at the time of completion.
• The property address has not previously received a solar panel (PV) rebate or a solar battery rebate under the Solar Homes Program.
• The property has not had a solar panel (PV) system installed in the last ten years.

If you are participating in the Premium Feed-in Tariff scheme you should consider whether you will be better off if you replace your existing system before the scheme ends in November 2024
