Victoria\u2019s 2023-2024 state budget yesterday hit the headlines with a billion dollars to re-establish the State Electricity Commission, focusing on driving the state\u2019s switch to renewables.<\/p>\n

A much lower profile move was a rejig of Solar Victoria\u2019s support for home batteries.<\/p>\n

In an industry update circulated May 24 and provided to SolarQuotes, Solar Victoria explained that the $2,950 rebate will stop accepting new applications after June 30, 2023. The Victorian battery rebate<\/a> will be replaced by interest-free loans up to $8,800<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe battery rebate program will continue to accelerate the renewable energy transition and move away from rebates and transition to the delivery of 4,500 interest-free loans of up to $8,800 each funded through the Solar Homes Program,\u201d the industry update said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c$16 million dollars has been allocated to the enable the delivery of the interest-free loan program for 2023-24.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cApplications for battery rebates will no longer be accepted from 30 June, with the loan offering to be launched after 1 July 2023, once program design is complete.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSolar Victoria is working towards a seamless transition from one incentive to the other and program design is already underway.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Solar Victoria’s update said that rebate applications received before June 30 will be processed.<\/p>\n

The Solar for Business program also ends on June 30.<\/p>\n

Rebates for solar panels and hot water systems will continue.<\/p>\n

Solar Victoria said the government has allocated 53,000 solar panel rebates for 2023-2024 at the current rate of $1,400, with another $1,400 available as an interest-free loan.<\/p>\n

The government has 4,500 hot water rebates of $1,000 available for 2023-2024.<\/p>\n

The rebate was originally $3,500, but on 1 July 2022, it was trimmed to the current $2,950<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
