Solar & Battery Rebates
in Victoria

Federal

Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs)

STCs reduce the upfront cost of eligible rooftop solar. The discount is typically assigned to your installer and deducted from your invoice — you do not need to trade certificates yourself.

• Applies to eligible new solar PV systems installed by accredited practitioners
• Value depends on system size, location zone, and the STC market price at assignment
• Shown as an upfront reduction on your Voltaris quote where eligible

Federal

Cheaper Home Batteries Program

The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program is designed to cut the upfront cost of eligible home battery storage for qualifying households. For many Victorian homes, this is the largest single storage discount available.

• Targets eligible residential battery installations
• Discount amounts depend on capacity and current program settings (often several thousand dollars)
• Voltaris confirms eligibility and applies the discount at sale where you qualify

Victoria

Solar Victoria rebates & loans

Solar Victoria may offer additional support for eligible Victorian owner-occupiers on qualifying solar and battery systems — including rebates and, in some cases, interest-free loan options.

• Often limited to owner-occupiers meeting income, property, and system rules
• Battery bonus support for eligible homes has commonly been up to around $1,400 (confirm current rules)
• Postcode and product eligibility can apply — we check this during consultation

How we apply rebates for you

You should not have to navigate three government portals to get a fair price. Our process:

• Assess — review your property type, existing solar (if any), and usage
• Confirm — check federal and Victorian eligibility against current program rules
• Apply at sale — eligible discounts appear as upfront reductions on your quote
• Install — CEC-accredited installation with paperwork handled end to end
