Solar Rebates Victoria
The Solar Homes rebate program is a Victorian Government initiative designed to make solar power and battery storage more accessible and affordable for homeowners.
Launched in 2018, the program supports Victorians by offering significant rebates for installing solar panels (PV), solar hot water, and battery systems. The goal is to help more households cut their energy bills, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and create a cleaner, more sustainable future for Victoria
