For example, in New South Wales, the Solar Bonus Scheme offers a feed-in tariff for excess Solar energy generated by residential and small-scale Solar power systems. This provides homeowners with a financial incentive to install Solar panels and feed excess energy back into the grid.
Similarly, the Victorian government offers the Solar Homes Program, which provides rebates for Solar panel installations for eligible households. This program aims to make Solar power more accessible and affordable for homeowners in Victoria.
Other states and territories, such as Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia, also offer various rebates and incentives for Solar energy installations. These programs can help offset the upfront costs of installing Solar panels and make renewable energy more accessible to homeowners.
Overall, these state and territory-specific incentives complement the federal government’s SRES and help encourage more households to adopt Solar energy, reduce their carbon footprint, and save on electricity bills.
