State Government Rebate & Loan

Who Is Solar Victoria?
Solar Victoria is a Victorian Government initiative focused on helping households and businesses make the switch to clean, renewable energy. Through generous rebates and interest-free loans, Solar Victoria reduces the upfront costs of solar panel (PV) systems—supporting lower energy bills and contributing to Victoria’s goal of achieving 95% renewable electricity by 2035.
Solar Panel (PV) Rebate – Up to $1,400
Victorian homeowners can access a rebate of up to $1,400, covering as much as 50% of the cost of installing a solar panel system. Rebates are released each month and are available to eligible owner-occupiers, including those building new homes.
Interest-Free Solar Loans – Up to $1,400
In addition to the rebate, eligible applicants can apply for an interest-free loan of up to $1,400, repayable over 4 years. This loan is designed to match the rebate, making solar more accessible with minimal upfront cost.

STC Incentives

Who Is the Clean Energy Regulator?
The Clean Energy Regulator is a statutory authority of the Australian Government responsible for administering national renewable energy and emissions reduction programs. One of its core initiatives is the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), which supports the transition to cleaner energy by providing financial incentives to households and small businesses installing solar panel (PV) systems and solar batteries.
What are STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates)?
Under the SRES, eligible solar installations generate Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) — tradable credits that reflect the environmental benefit your system provides by reducing carbon emissions. These STCs are assigned a financial value and can be transferred to your accredited solar retailer in exchange for a discount on your system’s upfront cost.
