Solar and energy improvements for your business or organisation

Can your business premises benefit from a new solar system or an upgrade to lighting, heating, ventilation, or the hot water system?

These improvements can result in savings from:

  • Lower operational costs
  • Reduced and effective energy use

What is available for businesses and organisations?

An upgrade to your business premises can:

  • Improve the conditions for occupants
  • Reduce utility bills and your business’ carbon footprint
  • Increase the resale or lease value of your property

Who can I buy energy upgrade products from?

We have partnered with Solar Savers, a council-backed initiative to make it easier to upgrade.

This council-backed initiative has already done the hard work – it’s vetted quality suppliers and negotiated competitive pricing for:

  • heating/cooling systems
  • hot water heat pumps
  • insulation
  • draught proofing
  • induction cooktops
  • solar panels
  • batteries
  • electric vehicle chargers

Register through the Merri-Bek Solar Savers page and receive up to three quotes from trusted, accredited suppliers.

What subsidies are available?

There are a range of training and support programs, grants and resources to help your business reduce energy use, increase productivity and save money.

Tenants in Council-owned buildings can access our solar installation program.

The Victorian Energy Upgrades program is providing businesses with access to discounted energy-saving products and upgrades through accredited providers.

Solar Victoria also has information on how to manage energy bill costs for businesses.
