Rooftop Solar - Standard
If you have a concession card, please apply via the 'Concession Households' rebate.
This rebate is for standard households only.
Before buying, we recommend:
- Checking out the Federal Government’s Solar Consumer Guide
- Using the SunSPOT tool to estimate your system size, cost and how much it will save you
- Requesting a minimum of three quotes from an installation company on the New Energy Tech Consumer Code (NETCC) Approved Sellers list. This accreditation requires companies to adhere to an elevated consumer code of conduct.
- Asking the installer for their Solar Accreditation Australia accreditation number. This ensures competency, quality and safety.
Before Applying:
- Please read the eligibility criteria carefully before proceeding to submit a claim.
- If you have any queries regarding your eligibility, please contact us before submitting your application via [email protected] or 1300 422 664.
Please note: Budget for a finite number of rebates is set and applied each financial year. Application is on a first come first served basis. Eligible solar install dates change and are applicable with each new financial year. Future rebate rounds are not guaranteed. Should future rebate rounds be available, only purchases made in that financial year will be eligible.
For example, if installation occurred between 1 July 2025 - 30 June 2026 and rebate allocation for 1 July 2025 - 30 June 2026 was exhausted before you could apply, you are NOT eligible to apply for the 1 July 2026 - 30 June 2027 rebate round.
