Victorian Solar Battery Rebate Update

The Victorian Government Solar Battery Rebate Scheme has been extended to include more than 250 postcodes across Victoria. The scheme allows eligible homeowners to secure a discount of up to $4,838 off the price of a solar battery.

The solar battery rebate was originally offered to just 24 postcodes around Victoria, however, it has now expanded to include an additional 150 postcodes. The increase in availability of solar battery rebates allows homeowners to save on costs when purchasing a solar battery. This means solar energy is becoming more affordable and accessible than ever!

Eligible postcodes

150 additional postcodes have been included within the expansion of the Solar Battery Rebate Scheme. Check below to see if your postcode is eligible:

Victorians can receive the solar battery rebate if they meet the following criteria:

• The property is within a designated postcode and already has solar PV panels with a capacity equal to or greater than 5kW
• Pre-approval is obtained from your Distributed Network Service Provider (DNSP) to safety connect a battery to the grid

• The owner/s agrees to receive information from their Distribution Network Service Provider about taking part in battery trials to maximise the value households get from them
