What is the Solar Victoria Rebate?
Great incentive for homeowners and small businesses in Victoria to install solar and save on energy bills.
The Solar Homes Program, run by Solar Victoria, offers financial incentives to help Victorians install solar panels, batteries, and hot water systems. It’s part of the state government’s push to reduce emissions and make energy more affordable.
