Switching to solar energy is one of the smartest ways to cut your electricity bills and make your home more sustainable. In Victoria, government incentives make it even easier — but many homeowners are unsure whether they actually qualify. If you’re wondering whether you’re eligible for Victoria’s solar rebates and loans, this guide from Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions breaks it down for you in simple terms.

1. Understanding Victoria’s Solar Incentives

The Solar Homes Program, supported by the Victorian Government, provides rebates and interest-free loans to help households install solar panels, solar batteries, and solar hot water systems.
The goal is simple — make renewable energy affordable for everyone and reduce pressure on the electricity grid.

Here’s what’s currently available in 2025:

• 💰 Solar Panel (PV) Rebate: Up to $1,400 off the upfront cost of installing solar panels.

• 💡 Interest-Free Solar Loan: Equal to the rebate amount (up to $1,400), payable over four years.

• 🔋 Battery Rebate (Federal Rebate): Available under the national program with no fixed income cap — designed to encourage energy storage solutions across Melbourne and Victoria.

2. Check Your Eligibility: The 3 Main Factors

To qualify for Victoria’s solar rebates and loans, your household must meet three key conditions:

a. Income Cap

• The combined taxable income of all owners must be less than $210,000 per year.
  This ensures that rebates go to households that need support most while encouraging broad adoption of solar technology.

b. Property Value

• Your property must have a current value of under $3 million.
  This applies to all eligible owner-occupied homes, regardless of when they were purchased.

c. Previous Rebates

• You must not have already received a Solar Homes rebate for your property under the same category (for example, solar PV).
  However, you can still apply for different types of rebates, such as a battery or hot water rebate, if you’ve already installed solar panels.

3. Installation & Product Standards Matter

Eligibility isn’t just about income and property value — it also depends on the quality and compliance of your installation.

Make sure:

• Your system is installed by a Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited installer.

• Your chosen system is listed on the approved product list under the Solar Homes Program.

• You use a licensed electrical contractor for all related work.

At Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions, we meet all required installation and product standards, ensuring your system is fully compliant and eligible for rebates.

4. How to Apply

You can apply online through the Solar Victoria portal:

1. Get a quote from an approved installer (like us).

2. Upload your quote to the portal.

3. Confirm your eligibility and receive an eligibility number.

4. Once approved, the rebate will be deducted directly from your system’s cost.

Our team at Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions can guide you through the entire process — from application to installation.
