Solar & Heat pump hot water system Claim a rebate of up to $1,000
Water heating is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from the average Australian home, accounting for around 23 per cent of household emissions. Installing a climate friendly hot water system can save a family hundreds of dollars off their energy bills each year.
This new Scheme is available to help eligible home-owners, landlords or tenants to replace their electric storage hot water systems with solar or heat pump hot water systems.
Eligible households can claim a rebate of $1,000 for a solar hot water system or $600 for a heat pump hot water system through the Renewable Energy Bonus Scheme - solar hot water rebate. This rebate applies for systems ordered and purchased from 20 February 2010.
Eligibility & key criteria to claim rebates
- Rebates are only available to people who have not previously received assistance to install ceiling insulation through the Home Insulation Program or the Homeowner Insulation Program at this address.
- The system must replace an existing electric storage hot water system.
- An owner-occupier, landlord or tenant can apply for the rebate as long as the dwelling where the hot water system is installed is a principal place of residence.
- The system must be installed and certified by a suitably qualified person (for example an electrician and/or plumber).
How to apply
- You can only apply for the rebate after the system has been installed.
- The rebate is not available as a point of sale discount nor can a retailer, installer or commercial business apply for the rebate on behalf of their customers.
- You have up to four months (122 days) after an eligible system is installed to submit an application form.
- Attach a copy of your purchase receipts which clearly indicates that you have installed a solar or heat pump hot water system with the application.
