    About the Group

    Solar Victoria's purpose is to enable access to affordable, reliable, and clean energy for Victorians now and in the future.

    We deliver the Victorian Government's $1.3 billion Solar Homes Program, providing rebates to eligible households for solar panels, hot water systems, and batteries, as well as solar for rental properties.

    In addition, we have complementary programs that support small businesses with solar, individuals and businesses with subsidies for zero-emissions vehicles, and low-income households to upgrade to energy-efficient heating and cooling.

    Our aim is to deliver solar power to 778,500 Victorian homes over 10 years and to reach one million Victorians through our suite of programs.

    Solar Victoria also delivers the Victorian Energy Upgrades program, the state's largest emissions reduction program, which supports Victoria to achieve its energy transition and emissions reduction goals through improved energy efficiency, demand management, and household and business electrification.

    This is delivered through policy development, regulatory changes, and program initiatives, and involves collaboration with other jurisdictions on national standards, research, tools, and policy.

    The VEU program works closely with the Essential Services Commission to drive and deliver on Government's priority policy objectives through the provision of more than half a billion dollars' worth of incentives each year – supporting Victorian households and businesses with their energy bills and creating jobs for industry.

    As part of DEECA, Solar Victoria works closely across the department, including with the Energy and Environment and Climate Change Groups, along with industry, regulators, and community organisations.
