Victorian Solar Rebates FAQ
How much is the Victorian Solar Homes rebate in 2026?
Eligible Victorian homeowners can receive up to a $1,400 rebate off the purchase of a residential solar PV system, plus an optional matching $1,400 interest-free loan repaid over 4 years ($29.16/month). Combined, this reduces upfront outlay by $2,800.
Who is eligible for the Solar Victoria rebate?
To qualify, you must be the owner-occupier of an existing property or a home under construction in Victoria with a combined household taxable income of all owners less than $150,000 per year, and a property value under $3,000,000.
Do I have to do the Solar Victoria portal paperwork myself?
No! When you choose Billabong Solar, we handle the technical paperwork and upload your quote directly into the Solar Victoria portal. You simply log in to verify your identity and confirm the application token.
Can I get a rebate for both Solar Panels and Battery Storage?
Yes. For solar panels, Solar Victoria offers a $1,400 rebate and $1,400 interest-free loan. While Solar Victoria's standalone $8,800 battery loan is closed to new applicants, homeowners can access the Commonwealth Cheaper Home Batteries scheme, Virtual Power Plant (VPP) export bonuses, and low-rate clean energy financing alongside their solar panel rebate.
Are STC federal discounts included as well?
Yes! Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are a federal incentive that applies to all systems under 100kW regardless of household income. This is stacked directly on top of the Victorian Solar Homes rebate, lowering your net invoice even further.
