The Complete Guide to the Victorian Government Solar Rebate. Who can Apply and How?

What is the Victorian Government Solar Rebate?

The Victorian Government Solar Rebate is a scheme that offers a rebate to households and businesses for installing solar panels. The rebate scheme is designed to encourage the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar power.

The Victorian Government Solar Rebate provides a rebate of up to $1400 for residential properties and up to $3500 for commercial properties. The rebates are paid in different parts, however, you do not need to worry about it. Your selected solar retailer claims a solar rebate on your behalf and offers you a net price after rebates. 

It’s important that you know how much power you are using so that you can work out how much money you will save by switching to solar energy.
