Applications for round two of the Victorian Government’s Solar for Apartments Program are open until 6 December 2024.
This new round has expanded to include residents living in single storey strata townhouses and units as well as apartment households.
This is a great opportunity for even more Victorians to access clean, renewable energy through rebates up to $2,800 per apartment, with
a maximum amount of $140,000 for properties of up to 50 lots.
To reduce the upfront costs, rebates will be paid directly to the retailer and deducted from the final invoice. Owners corporations will pay any outstanding balance to the retailer.
Eligible properties include apartment buildings up to 8 storeys in height and single storey townhouses and units. They must be under the control of an Owners Corporation and share a common property rooftop.
By adopting solar, an average household in a multi-unit development can save up to $500 a year on their electricity bills.
The Solar for Apartments Program is jointly funded by the Victorian and Commonwealth governments. It will help to remove existing barriers for installing solar on apartment buildings and enable retailers to provide apartment residents with safe and effective solar
technologies.
