Solar energy has become more than just a sustainable choice — it’s now one of the smartest investments you can make for your home or business in Melbourne. With a wide range of rebates and government-backed incentives, solar panel installation has become more affordable than ever for Victorian households.

As an accredited provider under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, Climate Green is here to help you navigate your options and unlock the maximum financial benefits from your solar investment.

Why Go Solar in Victoria?

Installing solar panels in Melbourne comes with two powerful advantages:

1. Environmental sustainability – reduce your carbon footprint and support a greener future.

2. Financial savings – enjoy government incentives, lower power bills, and long-term energy security.

Let’s explore the major rebates and incentives available for solar and battery installations across Victoria:

1. Victorian Solar Panel Rebate

The Solar Victoria initiative offers generous rebates for eligible homeowners. To qualify, you must meet the following:

Eligibility Criteria:

• Property must be valued under $3 million

• Combined household income under $210,000 per annum

• Property must not have claimed a solar panel rebate in the past 10 years

• Now available for up to two rental properties per owner

2. Solar Rebates for Apartments

Living in a multi-storey apartment or shared townhouse? You can still benefit!

Rebate:

Up to $2,800 per apartment, capped at $140,000 per building owner

Eligibility:

• Owners classified as Tier 3 or 4 under the Owners Corporation Act 2006 (Vic)

• Buildings with up to 8 storeys, or shared rooftop townhouses

• Must offer ~$500 in annual bill savings per household

3. Interest-Free Solar Battery Loan

Looking to add battery storage to your existing solar system? Victoria offers interest-free loans up to $8,800 for eligible homeowners.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Home must already have a PV solar system (minimum 5kW inverter)

• Battery must be VPP-ready with at least 6 kWh capacity

• Applicants must not have received a prior battery rebate

• Credit checks now apply for loan approval

4. Federal Solar Incentive – Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES)

At the national level, the SRES allows households to claim Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs). These certificates can cut your upfront solar installation costs by around 30%, depending on your system size and location.

5. Victorian Feed-in Tariff (FiT)

Did you know you can earn money from your excess solar power? Any unused energy your system generates is sent back to the grid, and your electricity retailer pays you for it under the state’s Feed-in Tariff scheme.

6. Solar Rebates for Rental Properties

Landlords can now also take advantage of solar rebates. To be eligible:

• Properties must meet the standard solar rebate criteria

• A signed Solar Homes Landlord-Tenant Agreement is required

This creates a win-win for both landlords and tenants — cheaper energy bills and a more energy-efficient home.

7. Hot Water Rebate (Heat Pump or Solar Hot Water)

Replacing an older hot water system (minimum 3 years old)? You may be eligible for a rebate on solar hot water or heat pump systems, helping you save even more on energy costs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
