If you’re a returning customer who has received a rebate before and moved house, you can now apply for a solar panel (PV) rebate and interest-free loan, hot water rebate and solar battery loan for your new property if it is your primary place of residence.
We have also expanded our incentives to customers with systems older than 10 years and households with incomes up to $210,000.
Whether you’re a new or returning customer or an early adopter of solar, with the hotter months around the corner, it is the ideal time to explore how you can electrify your home.
Cost savings play a big part in the decision to go electric. By converting an existing home with solar panels from gas to electricity, you could save over $1,000 every year on energy bills when you maximise the use of solar energy.
There are so many things you can do to reduce emissions and bills but starting the journey can be daunting. Here are few tips to give you more confidence when taking those first steps.
Step 1
Know the buzz words – electrification, renewables, solar – and what they mean for you and your home. Choice has simple resources to help you explore energy savings, power consumption, smart appliances and more.
Step 2

Step 3
Now you have the information you need start thinking about solar. This is the place to start and there are incentives to help you. Making the switch to electric with solar has the why and the how. You can also read about how customers have accessed solar incentives to make it easier.
Step 4
Research adding a medium-sized battery. A battery can help you save an additional $650 every year because you can store energy from your solar panels throughout the day to use during peak hours.
Step 5
Start thinking about the colder months next year. Now is the ideal time to look into a hot water rebate so you can save more on hot showers.
We have $1,400 rebates for rooftop solar (PV), interest-free loans for PV, $1,000 rebate for purchasing a heat pump or solar hot water system. Interest-free loans for solar batteries are also available of up to $8,800.
It’s a great time to start thinking about making the switch. Read about our eligibility criteria and how to apply and our Buyers Guides for more information.
