How does it work?

The rebate process for householders is quick and easy through the Solar Victoria Portal (the Portal). Your solar provider will apply for the rebate on your behalf, so the rebate will be instantly deducted from your overall installation cost. This reduces your up-front cost of installation.

1. Inform yourself

   Before you sign a contract for solar, you should be sure that you understand the rebate process and eligibility criteria. Once you have researched and identified the authorised solar retailer you want to use, contact them to obtain a quote.

2. Get a written quote from an authorised solar retailer

   Your authorised solar retailer will need to provide you with a written quote that contains the information you need to make an informed decision. They will also upload your quote into the Portal which will enable you to start the online eligibility process. You will receive an email notifying you that your quote has been uploaded.

3. Get your eligibility number and QR code

   As the customer, you will need to apply for eligibility via the Portal. We will match the quotes provided to us by your retailer and use that as the starting point to assess your eligibility. You will need to upload documents that prove the ownership of your property, your household income and your identity. Once you are confirmed as eligible, Solar Victoria will provide you a unique eligibility code that must be scanned by your installer in order to proceed with your application.
