3.1 Solar panel (PV), battery and hot water rebates
3.1.1 Mandatory portal requirements
All solar panel (PV), solar battery and hot water retailers wishing to claim a rebate through Solar Victoria’s programs must be registered on the Solar Victoria portal (‘the portal') before an installation occurs.
For details on how to register, see:
- Become an authorised solar retailer or installer
- Become an authorised hot water retailer or installer
The portal enables retailers to upload customer quotes and be paid for the rebate/ loan amounts that must be passed through to eligible customers. Service Victoria and State Trustees are delivery partners.
Rebates and loans are only available to customers after they have received confirmation of their eligibility and have been notified that they may proceed with the installation by Solar Victoria.
Rebates are only paid to retailers who have received confirmation of a customer’s eligibility prior to installation.
3.2 Accessing other rebates
Customers of the solar for community housing rebate streams cannot access rebates via the Solar Victoria portal.
