How rebates lower your price
Three incentives can reduce what you pay in Melbourne. We apply every one you qualify for directly on your quote, so you never wait for money back.
Federal battery discount
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program cuts roughly 30% off an eligible battery at the point of sale. It isn’t means tested. Since 1 May 2026, batteries up to about 14kWh receive close to full support and larger capacity earns less per kWh. The discount steps down again on 1 January 2027, then every six months to 2030.
Cheaper Home Batteries explainedSolar Victoria solar rebate
Eligible households can claim up to $1,400 off solar panels, plus an optional interest-free loan of the same amount. Household income must be $150,000 or less, and eligibility must be approved before installation.
Solar Victoria rebate eligibilitySolar panel STC discount
New solar systems create small-scale technology certificates, which we take as an upfront discount. Bigger systems earn a bigger discount, and its value falls each January until the scheme ends in 2030.

Rebate information checked October 2026. Amounts and eligibility can change – your quote confirms the current figures.
Cheapest solar company in Melbourne, or best value?
A system that’s $500 cheaper today can cost far more if the installer disappears, the inverter fails early or the workmanship warranty is short. When you compare solar quotes, compare these – not just the bottom line.
Our approach is simple: competitive upfront pricing, quality installations and after-sales care that’s still there years later. Ask us and we’ll connect you with a past customer so you can check our service yourself.
