State-based solar rebates: Some Australian states and territories provide additional solar rebates on top of the federal SRES. These state-based rebates vary in terms of eligibility criteria, funding availability, and the amount of rebate provided. For example, the New South Wales government offers the Solar Homes Program, which provides rebates and interest-free loans for solar and battery storage systems. Similarly, the Victorian government offers the Solar Homes Program, which provides rebates for solar panel installations.

In South Australia, the Home Battery Scheme provides subsidies for eligible households to install battery storage systems in addition to Solar panels. In Queensland, the Solar Bonus Scheme offers feed-in tariffs for excess Solar energy exported to the grid.

These state-based rebates can help reduce the upfront costs of installing Solar panels and battery storage systems, making renewable energy more accessible and affordable for residents. It’s important to check with your state or territory government to see what rebates and incentives are available in your area and to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria before applying.
