Government Solar Programs

There is a range of government programs available to help you get started on the path to a sustainable future. For customers interested in solar power the 2 main programs currently available include the federal government solar credits scheme and the Green Loans program

Solar Credit Scheme

The federal governments proposed Solar Credits Scheme is open to all Australian residents without the need for a previously required means test. This new incentive utilises the existing Renewable Energy Certificate system but includes a 3x multiplier to the number of REC's (or Solar Credits) for systems up to 1.5kW. If you were not previously eligible under the old $8,000 rebate scheme, you will now be eligible for incentives under this new scheme.

These Credits will assist with the upfront cost of installing roof top PV systems. Solar Credits will apply to new installations of household scale renewable energy generators eligible under the scheme.
