Everything You Need to Know About the Solar Victoria Rebate

 The Solar Victoria Rebate is a Victorian Government initiative designed to help households reduce the cost of installing solar panel systems. By lowering upfront installation costs, the program makes solar energy more accessible while supporting Victoria’s transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future.

At Climate Green Melbourne, we help homeowners across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs understand, access, and maximise this rebate—making the switch to solar simple and stress-free.

What Is the Solar Victoria Rebate?

The Solar Victoria Rebate is part of the Solar Homes Program, offering financial support to eligible Victorian households installing solar panel systems. The rebate is applied upfront, significantly reducing the initial investment required to go solar.

Who Is Eligible for the Solar Victoria Rebate?

To qualify for the Solar Victoria Rebate, homeowners must meet the following criteria:

  • Be the owner-occupier of the property

  • Property value must be under $3 million

  • Combined household taxable income must be less than $180,000 per year

  • The property must not have previously received a Solar Homes solar panel rebate

  • The installed solar system must be 6.6kW or smaller

Our team at Climate Green Melbourne can quickly check your eligibility and guide you through the requirements.



How Much Can You Receive?

Eligible homeowners can receive up to $1,850 off the cost of installing solar panels under the Solar Victoria Rebate.

In addition, you may also be eligible for the Federal Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), which provides further savings through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). When combined, these incentives can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
