In addition to the federal government’s rebate, some state governments and local councils in Australia also offer additional incentives and rebates for solar installations. These programs vary by region and may include grants, loans, or feed-in tariffs.

For example, in New South Wales, the state government offers a Solar Homes program which provides interest-free loans for Solar and battery storage systems. In Victoria, the government offers a Solar Homes Rebate for eligible households to install Solar panels. In South Australia, there is a feed-in tariff scheme that pays customers for the excess electricity generated by their Solar panels.

Local councils may also offer incentives such as rebates or discounts on rates for installing Solar panels. It’s worth checking with your local council or state government to see what incentives are available in your area to help offset the cost of installing Solar panels.
