Victoria expands rebates to allow both solar panels and hot water systems

Move will drive down energy bills, minister says, helping state cut 50% of emissions by 2030

Victorian households will be able to access rebates for both solar panels and a solar hot water system under an expansion of the state government’s scheme.

When it comes into effect in mid-May, the change will mean the almost 190,000 Victorians who have previously accessed a $1,400 rebate to install solar panels will be able to access an additional 50% rebate of up to $1,000 to have solar hot water or a high-efficiency electric heat pump system installed.
