Why Solahart is your best choice for advice on the Victorian Solar Homes Package

For over 65 years, we have been setting the standard for solar systems in Australia. Our systems are designed for the harshest Australian conditions. Quality is ingrained in everything we do and our obsession with solar technologies is well documented.

Our solar power systems use Premium Solahart Panels and the world’s best quality inverters.
Meanwhile, our solar water heaters have established an unparalleled reputation for quality and efficiency. Our core range consists of roof-mounted systems and split systems, where the tanks are located on the ground.

About the Victorian Solar Homes Package
The Victorian Government will help Victorian households cut their electricity bills through the Solar Homes Package which will be delivered by the newly established Solar Victoria, which will help Victorians reduce their energy bills.

Solar Power Rebate
The Victorian Government is providing a 50% rebate, up to the value of half of an average 4kW solar power system (which currently equates to $2,225) for eligible households in 2018-19.

Solar Hot Water Rebate
The Victorian Government is providing $1,000 rebates for 6,000 households for solar hot water in 2018-19.
This is intended to encourage the replacement of hot water systems with solar hot water. This is a great option for households where solar panels might not be suitable, or for households that already have solar panels installed.
Solar hot water rebates have been available from 19 August 2018 and are in addition to existing government incentives and programs that reduce the cost of solar hot water systems for Victorians.

Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates
Solahart Eastern Ranges is an accredited provider of VEEC Certificates. What this means is that in addition to the Solar Hot Water Rebate, you may be eligible for a further discount to your costs if you are upgrading the efficiency of your current hot water system.
