How Solar Rebates and Loans Fit Your Energy Upgrade
How Do STCs Help You Save?
STCs make solar and battery more affordable by reducing your upfront investment. Here's how:
A Clear Picture of Your Upfront Cost
Different incentives support different parts of your upgrade. First, we identify the relevant programs. Then, we separate rebates and discounts from any amount you choose to repay through a loan.
Solar Panels: Federal and Victorian Support
Federal solar STCs can work alongside a Solar Victoria solar rebate, if you qualify for both. In addition, the optional solar loan can help spread the remaining upfront cost.
Batteries: One Clearly Calculated Discount
Your federal battery support is delivered through battery STCs. Therefore, your quote should show that benefit once and identify the battery costs that remain.
Understand Your Loan Repayments
A loan can reduce what you pay upfront. However, you repay the borrowed amount over time, so consider the repayment schedule and total cost.
Heating and Cooling: Eligible VEU Discounts
The Victorian Energy Upgrades program offers discounts on approved reverse-cycle air conditioners. For example, replacing an eligible gas heater may attract support for a more efficient electric system. The amount depends on the existing equipment, replacement system and program requirements.
Plan an Energy Upgrade That Suits Your Budget
Solar rebates and loans can help you plan your upfront budget. Ask our team about current payment options for your proposed system. Because offers can vary, we explain the available terms before you decide whether to apply.
Start With a Tailored Quote
First, choose a system that suits your property and energy needs. Your quote then sets out the equipment, installation and applicable incentives.
Explore Available Payment Plans
Where available, a payment plan may help you spread eligible upgrade costs. Ask which options apply to your chosen solar, battery or EV charging system.
Compare Rates and Fees
An interest-free offer can still include fees. Therefore, check the rate, establishment charges and ongoing fees before comparing the total amount payable.
Understand Your Repayment Schedule
Review the payment amount, frequency and term together. For example, a longer term may lower each payment while changing the total cost.
Check Any Upfront Contribution
Your quote should explain the amount required before installation. Also, confirm which rebates and discounts are approved and which remain subject to eligibility.

Yes, if you qualify for both programs. The Victorian solar rebate is calculated after other discounts, including federal solar STCs.
A rebate reduces the eligible system cost. A loan is money you repay, although it can reduce the amount you need upfront.
Solar Victoria has closed applications for its battery loans. However, eligible solar-connected batteries may qualify for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program. Ask us to check your options.
The amount depends on eligible usable capacity, installation date and certificate value. Because the current rules taper support for larger batteries, we calculate the discount for your selected system.
Eligible Victorian homes and businesses can receive discounts when installing approved high-efficiency reverse-cycle systems. However, the available amount depends on your existing equipment, selected product and installation requirements.
An eligible on-grid battery system must be VPP-capable. However, the federal program does not require you to join a VPP. Your system and installation must meet the other eligibility rules.
Start before installation. Solar Victoria must approve your rebate eligibility before work begins. Then, we can coordinate installation around the relevant approvals and system requirements.
