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

The revamped Home Improvement Scheme is an NT government initiative designed to help support local trades. It provides vouchers of up to $4,000 for home improvements valued at up to $20,000 – 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

There appears to be at least a dozen Northern Territory PV installation businesses to have registered for the scheme<\/a> that homeowners could get quotes from; with several participating Darwin solar installers<\/a> in SolarQuotes’ network of vetted businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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

\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 said<\/a> Acting Chief Minister Natasha Fyles when announcing the deadline yesterday, which came as a bit of a surprise to some<\/a> in the Territory.<\/p>\n

\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.”<\/p>\n

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 can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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 generous solar feed in tariff<\/a> incentive in the nation.<\/p>\n

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 “net” model is used, which only pays on surplus electricity exported and at a significantly lower rate.<\/p>\n
