In Australia, there are many different solar incentives and rebates available to home and business owners to encourage the switch to solar energy. One of the main rebates on offer to Victorian homeowners is through Solar Victoria.

If you’re interested in the Solar Victoria rebate, there are a few steps involved in the application process, so we’ve stepped it out clearly to make it easy to follow:

Step 1: Select an authorised solar retailer

First, select an authorised solar retailer you want to use (like us!). It is essential that you are using an authorised retailer to be eligible for the Solar Victoria rebate..

Step 2: Obtain a quote 

Once you’ve found an authorised retailer/s you like, go ahead and request a quote and make sure it fits within your budget. Keep in mind that the cost of your solar may be equal or less than your current energy bill! For more information, finance options and to start saving, request a quote from us. 

Step 3: Upload your quote 

From here, upload your quote to the Solar Victoria Portal to start the online eligibility process.  You will receive email notification once the quote is uploaded. 

Important: We recommend you wait to sign any contracts with your authorised retailer until you have rebate approval. 

Step 4: Login to portal 

Use the email from the Solar Victoria Portal to log into your account. From here, select the solar quote as a starting point to confirm your eligibility. 

Once eligibility has been provided, you will receive a unique eligibility number and QR code.

This code must be scanned by your installer to proceed with your installation. We ask that you have this code available on install day so our team can scan the QR code when they are on-site. 

Step 5: Arrange install 

It’s time to arrange your install! Contact us to proceed and book in your installation. 

Step 6: Scan your QR code

On install day, a reminder to have your QR code on hand for the team to scan. This will finalise the rebate process, so to help things run smoothly bring it with you on the day.

1. Quote from authorised solar retailer 
2. Council rates notice for the installation property
