Want Additional Quotes?[ST1]

Residents and business are welcome, and encouraged, to undertake their own due diligence processes before making their final purchase, by obtaining their own quote/s from additional suppliers.

A list of reputable suppliers to consider approaching for additional quotes is recommended on the Solar Victoria website. You will still be eligible to apply for the same rebates and subsidies if you choose to pursue a quote and installation with a supplier that is not part of the Solar Savers program.

How Do Electric, Efficient Technologies Help Save on My Energy Bill?

Switching to electric and energy-efficient technologies - like electric heating and cooling systems, solar panels and batteries - help cut your energy bills by using less power and making the most of renewable energy. Here’s how:

🔌 Electric heating and cooling (like heat pumps and split systems) are much more efficient than gas, using less energy to keep your home comfortable.

☀️ Solar panels let you generate your own electricity, reducing what you buy from the grid. They also offer the potential to export excess energy back to the grid for credit on your energy bill.

🔋 Home batteries store solar energy for use at night or during peak times, helping you avoid higher electricity rates.

🚿 Heat pump hot water systems can replace standard gas and electric hot water systems. They use up to 70% less electricity than a conventional electric system.

Together, these technologies can lead to big savings - especially when paired with government rebates and smart energy habits.
