What changes the installed price?

Our website does not advertise a package price: your property and final scope need assessing first. Ask for an itemised proposal, including GST, any exclusions and payment stages.

Federal solar STCs

Eligible rooftop solar installations can receive support through small-scale technology certificates (STCs). Assigning the right to create them to an agent can reduce the upfront price. This is separate from the Victorian household rebate.

Ask whether the STC discount is already included, how it has been calculated, and which equipment and installation requirements apply.

Victorian solar panel assistance

Solar Victoria currently lists a solar panel rebate of up to $1,400 for eligible households, with an optional interest-free loan linked to the rebate. Income, property, previous-system and other eligibility rules apply. An authorised retailer and eligible products are required.

Arrange approval before installation. Solar Victoria has announced a transition of PV support into the Victorian Energy Upgrades program from 1 July 2027; check the current rules for your installation date.

Federal battery support

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program can reduce the upfront cost of an eligible solar-connected battery through small-scale technology certificates (STCs). The discount depends on the installation date and eligible capacity; it is not one fixed dollar amount for every home.

The scheme has equipment, installer and other requirements. Grid-connected systems need VPP capability, which is different from choosing to join a VPP. Ask for the proposed discount and eligibility basis in writing.

Hot-water assistance

Solar Victoria lists up to $1,000 for eligible hot-water products, or up to $1,400 for eligible locally made products. The rebate is subject to the program calculation and household eligibility; the higher amount is not available for every brand.

Other STC or Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts may apply to an eligible replacement. Ask which schemes are included, how they interact, and who handles each application. Normal pre-approval rules and emergency-replacement arrangements differ.

Before you accept

• Check the live official eligibility rules and authorised-retailer requirements.
• Ask which discounts are already included in the quoted price.
• Check what you pay if an expected incentive does not apply.
• Get the final scope and exclusions in writing before paying a deposit.
