Government Rebates

The government is offering considerable rebates to assist people to install greenhouse friendly technology.  Rebates significantly reduce the effective price of a solar or heat pump hot water system.  Rebates are not available for pool heating systems.

Two rebates are available:

  1. Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
  2. Australian Government Solar Hot Water Rebate Program

RECs

Many solar and heat pump hot water systems purchased and installed in Australia will qualify for renewable energy certificates. 

Quantum heat pump hot water systems qualify.

These certificates apply to solar and heat pump hot water systems being installed on a new house or which replace an existing electric or gas hot water system which has been installed for more than 12 months.  A reduced number of certificates will be issued if a new system is replacing an existing solar hot water system.

Central Solar Systems can generally apply the RECs rebate as a discount at the time of purchase.

The value of RECs can change, so we recommend that you contact us and we will be happy to let you know the amount of the current rebate.

Australian Government Solar Hot Water Rebate Program

The Australian Government is helping Australian households install greenhouse friendly hot water technologies. Rebates of $1000 are available in eligible circumstances to install solar and heat pump hot water systems to replace existing electric storage hot water systems.

Eigible systems (Quantum is an eligible system)

To be eligible for the rebate, a hot water system must:

Eligible households

  • The dwelling where the hot water system is installed must be a principal place of residence.
  • The applicant's taxable family income must have been less than $100,000 in the most recent tax year as lodged with the Australian Taxation Office.

This rebate is applied for after the system has been installed.  The application is sent directly to the government by the customer.

More details on this rebate program can be found on the Australian Government web site: http://www.environment.gov.au/settlements/renewable/solarhotwater
