Hot water rebates

There are a number of different solar hot water rebates available for installing solar hot water systems. The solar power grant or rebate you receive is dependent on where you live, and the type of solar hot water system that you are replacing or upgrading to. Check with your state or territory about grants for hot water in your jurisdiction. You can also sell the carbon credits (known technically as Small-scale Technology Certificates or ‘STCs’) generated by your solar hot water system. Depending on the number of STCs allocated to the system you install, and the market price for STCs and where you live, you could receive up to $2,000 in additional solar power grants.

There are further rebates available through the Victorian Government. The Sustainability Victoria rebate can be worth up to $1500. In addition to this, you can sell the Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) generated by your system, similar to STCs. Navigating solar hot water rebates can be a maze! Our solar water Advisors can inform you about all the different rebates you are eligible for, so all you have to worry about is the final price after rebates.

Solar hot water systems are far more efficient than storage-style hot water systems. Indeed, a gas-boosted solar power system can be up to 80% more efficient than an electric storage system (that means you’ll save up to 80% off your hot water bills). Whatever the figure, all solar hot water systems will save you money compared to what you are paying for hot water today.

The other key benefit of modern gas solar hot water systems is that you will never run out of hot water! With gas boosting, even if you’ve exhausted your 300 litres of free ‘solar’ hot water, you can always rely on your instantaneous solar water booster to ensure that hot water is ready when you need it. And did we mention that solar hot water will save a lot of carbon? That’s right, solar hot water is much better for our environment. How many more reasons do you need?
