How Much Can You Receive?

The Solar Homes Program is helping Victorians save on their energy bills, tackle climate change, and build a cleaner, renewable future. The Solar Homes Program is supporting eligible Victorian households to save even more. New and existing hot water customers can now apply for a solar panel PV rebate and loan and interest-free solar battery loan to save even more with solar.

Your local Solahart Dealer can assist you through the process of selecting the solar system best for you and applying for the rebate. 

Hot Water Rebate

A hot water rebate of up to $1,000 is available on eligible heat pump and solar hot water systems. The rebate to eligible Victorians households helps reduce the upfront cost of upgrading to an efficient heat pump or solar hot water system. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by upgrading to a hot water system that uses less energy.

The hot water rebate is available for owner occupiers who are replacing an existing hot water system which is at least three years old. It is available for existing properties and not for homes under construction or rental properties.

Without limiting the original periods of the product warranty, a 5-year whole-of-product warranty will be applied to the water heater where a rebate has been received under Solar Victoria’s Solar Homes Program for an installation from 1st July 2023. For further details, call your Solahart Dealer on 1300 769 475.

Note: The hot water rebate is calculated after any other discounts (including STC and VEEC financial benefits) have been applied to the purchase and installation price of the installation, and is a 50% rebate on the remaining amount up to the value of $1000.
