Renters and property owners
Solar Savers provides free advice to landlords and tenants and checks if you are eligible for government rebates.
You can then connect to a trustworthy installer when both the renters and homeowners agree to install. To find out more about the program and your eligibility, register at solarsavers.org.au/rentals
Solar Victoria
Solar Victoria provides a rebate of up to $1,400 to eligible rental providers for the installation of solar panel systems on a maximum of 2 rental properties each financial year.
You can reduce your upfront cost further by applying for an interest-free loan to match the rebate amount. This helps renters save on their energy bills, to find out more visit the Solar Victoria for Renters website.
Small-scale Technology Certificates
Through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme solar panels or solar hot water system may be eligible for small-scale renewable energy certificates.
These certificates can then be sold to recoup a portion of the cost of buying and installing the system.
More information for tenants
Approval to install solar panels will also include an additional layer of agreement from body corporates or strata schemes.
