Save up to $3,800 on upfront costs on solar panels and hot water system

Under the Solar Homes Program, you can save up to $2,400 on the upfront cost of installing a rooftop solar panel system and an energy efficient hot water system. If you are eligible, you could claim both a solar panel rebate valued at up to $1,400 and a hot water rebate valued at up to $1,000. You can also apply for an interest-free loan up to $1,400, with a solar panel rebate which means you could reduce the upfront cost of both installations by a total of $3,800.

Save $1,400+ anually

By installing solar panels on your roof and upgrading to a more energy efficient hot water system, you could save more than $1,400 on your energy costs every year.

A solar panel system can reduce a typical household’s energy bills by in excess of $1,150 per year. Households who replace a gas hot water system with a quality heat pump hot water system can save around $250 a year with the average home saving more than $1,400 a year

Heating water accounts for around 21 per cent of total energy use in most homes and switching to a more energy efficient heat pump or solar hot water system can considerably reduce your power bills.

Interest-free loans

You will be offered an interest-free loan of up to $1,400 in your application process. No collateral is required. If you elect, the loan amount will be processed along with your rebate payment and paid directly to Eco Choice reducing your initial out of pocket expense.

Loan repayments are paid monthly over 4 years (monthly repayment for a loan of $1,400 is $29.16)

Interest-free loans on battery installations

You may also be eligible for a government interest-free loan of up to $8,800 for the installation of a solar battery system. This reduces the upfront cost and is repaid monthly over 4 years.

With the inclusion of a battery, solar panels and an energy efficient hot water service you could be independent of both gas and electricity bills further offsetting your energy solution.
