To be eligible for the program, households must meet certain criteria, including having a combined household income of less than $180,000 per year, owning their home, and not already having a Solar panel system installed. The program provides rebates of up to $1,850 for Solar panel installations, as well as interest-free loans of up to $1,850 for households who are unable to access upfront payments.
By encouraging more households to install Solar panels, the Solar Homes Program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy bills, and create a more sustainable energy future for Victoria. To apply for the program or learn more about the eligibility criteria, interested households can visit the Solar Victoria website or contact their local government representative for more information.
