It provides vouchers of up to $4,000 for home improvements valued at up to $20,000 &#8211; and solar power systems are among the improvements eligible. Those who receive vouchers still need to pay for at least half of the job.<\/p>\n<p>There appears to be at least a dozen Northern Territory PV installation businesses to have <a href=\"https:\/\/homeimprovement.nt.gov.au\/homeowner\/business-list.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">registered for the scheme<\/a> that homeowners could get quotes from; with several participating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/installers\/darwin\/\">Darwin solar installers<\/a> in SolarQuotes&#8217; network of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/trust.html\">vetted businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To register for a voucher, applicants must be able to provide a current quote as part of the application process. No doubt there will be some very busy solar firms in the NT today, racing to get quotes out before the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>The Northern Territory Government says the Scheme has pumped $60 million into the local economy so far, and the amount is expected to rise once the full $15 million in grants has been allocated. Nearly 4,400 homeowner-occupiers have benefited from the Scheme, along with the various businesses that will be carrying out the work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the scheme will close to new applications on Friday, there is still a significant pipeline of jobs to be completed before the scheme ends,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/newsroom.nt.gov.au\/mediaRelease\/23266\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> Acting Chief Minister Natasha Fyles when announcing the deadline yesterday, which came as a bit of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2017-05-31\/northern-territorys-tradies-voucher-scheme-ends-on-friday\/8577226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">surprise to some<\/a> in the Territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf the 4,383 vouchers issued, only 870 vouchers totalling approximate (sic) $2.3 million have been redeemed, which means the work hasn\u2019t yet been completed or the tradie hasn\u2019t yet claimed their payment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Applications for the scheme close at 5pm and work must be completed within three months after the voucher is issued; although an extension can be sought. Further details <a href=\"https:\/\/homeimprovement.nt.gov.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While the tyranny of distance and other factors mean solar panels can be a bit pricier in Darwin than down south, the Northern Territory still has the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/feed-in-tariffs\/nt\/\">generous solar feed in tariff<\/a> incentive in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>NT solar owners receive a feed-in tariff rate equivalent to the standard tariff for electricity consumption. Operating under a gross model, all electricity generated by a solar power system is eligible for the rate. Elsewhere in Australia, a &#8220;net&#8221; model is used, which only pays on surplus electricity exported and at a significantly lower rate.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/feed-in-tariffs\/\">solar feed in tariffs in Australia here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homeowners in the Northern Territory looking to take advantage of HIS vouchers to help finance the installation of solar power systems only have until tomorrow to get their applications submitted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":12053,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Applications For NT&#039;s Home Improvement Scheme Closing - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Homeowners in the Northern Territory looking to take advantage of HIS grants to help buy solar power systems only have until tomorrow to submit applications.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/nt-solar-grants-mb0061\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Applications For NT&#039;s Home Improvement Scheme Closing\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Homeowners in the Northern Territory looking to take advantage of HIS grants to help buy solar power systems only have until tomorrow to submit applications.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/nt-solar-grants-mb0061\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-05-31T19:52:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-10-16T02:14:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/solar-nt-scheme.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"636\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"367\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/nt-solar-grants-mb0061\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/nt-solar-grants-mb0061\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Applications For NT&#8217;s Home Improvement Scheme Closing\",\"datePublished\":\"2017-05-31T19:52:14+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-10-16T02:14:14+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/nt-solar-grants-mb0061\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":438,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/nt-solar-grants-mb0061\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/06\\\/solar-nt-scheme.png\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
