Household Energy Upgrades Fund

Discounted finance through participating lenders for eligible solar, appliances, electrification and energy-efficiency improvements.

This is discounted finance, not a cash grant. Product and borrower eligibility requirements apply.

Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme

Eligible solar, renewable-energy and hot-water systems may create certificates that reduce the effective purchase cost.

The system and installer must meet program requirements.

Cheaper Home Batteries Program

Around a 30% discount on eligible small-scale battery systems connected to new or existing rooftop solar.

The discount is generally provided through the retailer or installer and is delivered through the SRES.

State, territory and council programs

Rebates, concessions or low-cost finance may be available for solar, batteries, insulation, efficient appliances and hot-water systems.

Offers depend on the property’s location and can close when funding is exhausted.

IBA remote-home assistance

Eligible Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander customers in qualifying remote locations may access a potential grant of up to $20,000 for minor repairs and maintenance.

Location, income, customer and loan eligibility requirements apply.

Investment-property tax treatment

Interest and some renovation-related costs may be deductible or claimable over time.

This is not a grant. Treatment depends on the purpose of the borrowing and nature of the work. Professional tax advice is recommended.
