The Victorian Government announces a new solar incentive program: the Solar Homes package.
LATEST UPDATE as at 1st August 2023
If you are a Victorian homeowner, you may be eligible for a hot water rebate of up to $1,000 on an eligible heat pump or solar hot water system.
Available under The Solar Homes Program the rebate helps reduce the upfront cost of upgrading to an energy efficient heat pump or solar hot water system.
Eligible Victorian households can receive both a solar panel (PV) rebate and a hot water rebate to save even more with solar.
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.
Call your local Rheem Solar Specialist on 1300 786 747 for help selecting the best water heater for you and applying for the rebate.
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 us or email us using our contact form.
Please note: The hot water rebate is calculated after any other discounts have been applied (including STC and VEEC) and is a 50% rebate on the purchase price of the system up to the value of $1000.
