What Victorian Homeowners
Can Claim in 2026

In 2026, two separate government programmes are available to Victorian households — stackable for maximum savings on solar and battery installations.

Incentive Value
Solar Homes Rebate Up to $1,400
Interest-Free Loan Up to $1,400
Federal Battery Discount ~30% off upfront

Act before May 2026

From 1 May 2026, the federal battery rebate reduces every six months until 2030. The Solar Homes Programme also runs on monthly allocations — once a round is claimed, it closes until the next release. Installing now locks in the highest available discount.

Combined Solar + Battery Packages

Install both together and maximise your rebates. We coordinate both installations and both rebate applications in a single streamlined process — one team, one assessment, one sign-off.

One Team. Both Rebates.
Nothing Missed.

We design systems around your actual energy usage — not a one-size-fits-all spec sheet. Every installation is sized for your roof, your household consumption, and your goals.

 

We Manage Both Rebate Applications

The Solar Homes Programme and the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Programme each have their own timing requirements. We manage both so you don’t have to.

 

CEC-Accredited Installers

Every solar and battery installation is carried out by our CEC-accredited team. No subcontractors, no handoffs — the same team from assessment through to final certification.

Designed Around Your Usage

We analyse your energy consumption, roof orientation, and goals before designing your system — solar, battery, or both. Not a one-size spec sheet.

Residential & Commercial

From family homes to commercial properties across Victoria — we have the accreditations and capacity to handle both at scale.

2026 Is the Best
Year to Upgrade

From 1 May 2026, the federal battery rebate reduces every six months until 2030.

The Solar Homes Programme also runs on monthly allocations — once a round is claimed, it closes until the next release. Installing now locks in the highest available discount.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

We'll confirm what rebates you qualify for, arrange a site visit, and give you a full quote with all government incentives applied — no obligation.

What solar panel rebates are available in Victoria in 2026?

Eligible Victorian households can access a Solar Homes Programme rebate of up to $1,400 for locally made panels, or up to $1,000 for other eligible systems. An interest-free loan matching the rebate amount is also available.

What is the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Programme?

The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Programme provides approximately 30% off the upfront cost of an eligible battery system through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). It is available to households and small businesses with no income test, and is applied as an upfront discount at the point of installation.

Which solar panel brands do you install?

We install Jinko Solar, Trina Solar and Canadian Solar panels — all CEC-approved and proven in Australian conditions. We recommend the right panel based on your roof orientation, shading, and energy goals.

Which battery brands do you install?

We install FOX, SolaX, GoodWe and Tesla Powerwall battery systems — all CEC-approved and eligible under the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Programme. We match the battery to your system size and household usage.

Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?

Yes. Adding a battery to an existing solar system still qualifies for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount, provided the system meets the eligibility requirements. We assess your existing setup during your free consultation.

Why does the battery rebate reduce over time?

The federal battery rebate is calculated using Small-scale Technology Certificates, which step down every six months from May 2026 until 2030. Installing sooner locks in a higher discount — waiting costs you money each year.

Get Your Eligibility Checked.
No Cost, No Commitment.

Victoria’s rebate programmes run on monthly allocations. Once they’re claimed, they’re gone until the next release. With electrification standards changing in 2027, the Victorians who act in 2026 will be the ones who paid the least.
