These programs can help offset the upfront costs of installing Solar panels and make it more affordable for homeowners to switch to clean, renewable energy. Some examples of state and territory incentives include feed-in tariffs, low-interest loans, grants, and rebates for Solar hot water systems.
In South Australia, for example, the Home Battery Scheme provides subsidies for the installation of home battery systems which can store excess Solar energy for use during peak times or at night. In New South Wales, the Empowering Homes Program offers interest-free loans for Solar and battery storage installations.
By taking advantage of these incentives, homeowners can not only save money on their electricity bills but also reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. It’s important to research and apply for these programs to maximize the benefits of going Solar.
