Please refer to these lists when you discuss product options with your customers – and make sure the system you install only uses products on these lists. These lists are updated regularly, so always check back here for the most up-to-date information.
Important reminder: All solar PV, battery and hot water systems installed under our programs must also comply with the requirements specified in the Notice to Market.
Solar panels (PV)
To qualify for a solar panel (PV) rebate, consumers must select from products listed on the Solar Victoria solar panel (PV) product list:
Inverters
To qualify for a solar panel (PV) rebate, consumers must select from inverters listed on the Solar Victoria inverter product list:
The Clean Energy Council maintains a list of approved inverters that meet Australian Standards for use in the design and installation of solar panel (PV) systems.
All solar PV inverters on our list are compliant to IEEE 2030.5-2018 and Common Smart Inverter Profile (CSIP)-AUS ready. This requirement came into effect through the Notice to Market on 1 March 2024.
Further updates to the inverter product list will be made progressively as more inverters become certified with a software client conforming to IEEE 2030.5-2018.
Hot water systems
New local content incentive
From 1 July, households that choose an eligible hot water system with local content will receive a higher rebate of up to $1,400. The existing $1,000 rebate will remain for other eligible hot water systems. Read the announcement here.
We will be consulting with industry on the details of this new incentive ahead of the 1 July implementation. This will include developing the requirements to demonstrate local content.
We will release more details. Please revisit this page, follow us on social media, and subscribe to our newsletter for updates.
To qualify for a hot water rebate, consumers must select from hot water systems listed on the Solar Victoria hot water product list:
This list consolidates the Clean Energy Regulator's Register of approved solar providers and the Victorian Essential Services Commission’s Registered Products list.
The Apricus all-in-one unit, model number APHP-R290-260, is now re-instated on our list of eligible hot water products. We have closely monitored the progress of the ACCC product recall and are satisfied it is progressing well and affected units not installed have been adequately quarantined.
All hot water heat pumps on our list:
- come with a comprehensive five-year product warranty
- are registered as being tested for energy consumption performance in accordance with AS/NZS 4234:2021 under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program;
- contain only low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants, i.e. below 700; and
- have an end-user configurable integrated timer located on the outside of the unit, or one that can be connected to a solar PV system to run the hot water during periods of solar generation.
These requirements came into effect through the Notice to Market on 1 July 2024.
