The Solar Homes Program is supporting eligible Victorian households to install a solar battery, by

providing a point of sale discount up to a maximum of $4,174. 

Solar battery rebates are now available in every Victorian postcode. Solar battery rebates will

remain at their current value of up to $4,174 until all rebates in 2020–21 have been fully allocated.

They will then reduce to $3,500.

​
