To be eligible for the Solar Victoria Hot Water Rebate, you must:
- Be the owner-occupier of an existing property where the system will be installed.
- Household taxable income of all owners combined is less than $210,000 per year.
- The value of the property is under $3 million.
- The property address has not already received a hot water or a solar battery rebate under the Solar Homes Program
- the hot water system to be replaced is at least 3 years old from the date of purchase
- you received a Solar Homes rebate and/or loan but have moved house. You can apply for another incentive at your new address as an owner-occupier if the property has not received these rebates before.
The hot water rebate is calculated after any other discounts have been applied (including Small-scale Technology Certificates and Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates) and is a 50% rebate on the purchase price of the system, up to the value of $1000.
