Melbourne households may be able to access the Victorian Solar Homes program, as well as the federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, which usually reduces the upfront cost through certificates. Eligibility, available products and program places can change, and the final outcome depends on your circumstances and the approved installer or relevant government body. Check the latest requirements through Solar Victoria and energy.gov.au before signing a contract. It is also worth comparing quotes from accredited installers and confirming whether the quoted price already includes any applicable incentives.
