CUTTING POWER BILLS WITH SOLAR PANELS FOR 650,000 HOMES
Sunday, 19 August 2018: Breaking News: Solar Rebate Program Victoria – Saving up to $890 on electricity bills and receive up to $2,225 in rebate.
From today, Victorians will be able to install a solar panel system and get half of the cost back via a 50 per cent rebate.
The 50 per cent rebate on solar panel systems will be available to Victorians with a household income of up to $180,000 who live in their own home valued at up to $3 million – this means almost nine out of 10 Victorians who own their own house are eligible.
“Solar Homes: 50 per cent solar rebate The Victorian Government is making solar panels more affordable than ever before, for around 24,000 eligible households. Families will only have to pay 50 per cent of the cost of a solar PV system.”
