Discounted solar systems for Victorian business

Discounts for commercial and industrial businesses and community organisations to install solar are now available via the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program.

The VEU initiative is available for systems from 30 kilowatts up to 200 kilowatts. 

Discount will remove up to $25,000 off the upfront cost of installing a 100-kilowatt system and up to $34,300 off a 200-kilowatt solar system.

Businesses are also eligible for Federal Government rebates on solar systems in the 30-to-200-kilowatt size range, which can reduce up to $50,000 off the cost.

Combined with the VEU discount, businesses can get up to 35 per cent off the cost of the installation. 

Around 1,500 commercial and industrial solar systems are installed in Victoria each year in the 30-to-200-kilowatt size range.

These discounts will also be available for hospitals, local government buildings, aquatic centres, aged care facilities and factories, helping them save money on their energy bills.

Since 2009, the VEU program has helped more than 2.4 million households and 180,000 businesses cut energy bills, reduce energy use and lower emissions. 

Minister for Energy and Resources Lily D’Ambrosio said: “We’re making it easier for Victorian businesses to get solar, because when they save on energy, they can invest more into their communities, growing their business and creating more jobs. More solar helps to drive down costs for every Victorian by easing pressure on the grid.” 

More information about criteria and requirements is available via the Commercial and industrial solar panel discounts page.

In addition to VEU incentives, businesses can also take advantage of federal rebates for batteries. Through the Cheaper Home Batteries (CHB) program, households and small businesses may be eligible for around a 30 per cent discount on the upfront cost of installing a small-scale solar battery.
