Solar Victoria delivers the Victorian Government's $1.3billion Solar Homes Program, providing rebates and interest free loans for eligible households, rental properties and apartment buildings to access and install solar panels, solar batteries and hot water systems. Our aim is to deliver solar power to over 770,000 Victorian homes over 10-years and to reach one million Victorians through our suite of programs. Since launching in 2018, over 330,000 solar panel, battery and hot water systems have been installed in Victorian households, reducing the upfront cost of installing renewable and energy efficient technology, so households can cut their power bills and transition toward an electric home powered by solar.

We also deliver the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, the state's largest emissions reduction program, supporting Victoria to achieve its energy transition and emissions reduction goals through improved energy efficiency, demand management, and household and business electrification. This is delivered through policy development, regulatory changes, and program initiatives, and involves collaboration with other jurisdictions on national standards, research, tools, and policy. The program provides more than half a billion dollars' worth of incentives each year - supporting Victorian households and businesses with their energy bills and creating jobs for industry.
