As an accredited person under Victorian Energy Upgrades we create the certificates ourselves, so rebates on heat pumps, air conditioning and other upgrades come straight off your quote.
Every rebate, product by product
What each upgrade is worth, who qualifies, and where the discount comes from. Amounts vary with product, capacity, location and program rules — eligibility is confirmed in writing before installation.
Solar panels
Federal STC incentive
Every eligible rooftop solar system in Australia receives an up-front discount through small-scale technology certificates (STCs). The value depends on system size, your postcode zone and the deeming period — we calculate it and apply it directly to your quote, so you never claim it yourself.
- Applied up front — no rebate paperwork for you
- Available Australia-wide for homes and businesses
- Larger systems attract a larger discount
- Solar Victoria rebate & interest-free loan may apply on top, subject to eligibility
Solar batteries
CHEAPER HOME BATTERIES PROGRAM
Since 1 July 2025 the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program has cut roughly 30% off the installed cost of an eligible home battery, delivered as an up-front discount. The discount steps down each year, so installing sooner keeps more of it. Victorian households may also be able to use a Solar Victoria interest-free battery loan on top.
- Roughly 30% off an eligible battery, applied up front
- Solar panels required — new or existing — to qualify
- Approved, VPP-capable batteries only — every brand we install is on the list
Air conditioning
Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU)
Replacing an old ducted gas heater, wall furnace or inefficient split system with a high-efficiency reverse-cycle air conditioner can attract a VEU discount. The amount is calculated from the star rating, capacity and climate zone of the system you choose, and is applied to your quote up front.
- Discount applied up front — no waiting for a cheque
- Higher discounts when replacing ducted or non-ducted gas heating
- Old equipment decommissioned and reported as the scheme requires
Heat pump hot water
Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU)
Swapping an existing electric-resistive or gas storage hot water system for a high-efficiency heat pump is one of the largest discounts available under the VEU program. We handle the eligibility check, the scheme paperwork and the decommissioning of your old unit.
- Substantial up-front discount on eligible heat pump replacements
- Available for owner-occupiers, rentals and small business premises
- Combine with solar to cut running costs to near zero
Water filtration
No government rebate
There is currently no VEU or federal rebate for water filtration systems. We keep pricing sharp and bundle filtration with other upgrades so a single visit covers more of your home.
- No rebate applies — honest advice, competitive pricing
EV chargers
No government rebate

- No rebate applies — biggest savings come from pairing with solar

Rebate questions, answered
Do I need to own my home to get a rebate?
No. Owner-occupiers qualify, and tenants and landlords can also access VEU upgrades with the right agreement in place. We confirm eligibility for your situation before quoting.
Do I need solar panels to get the battery rebate?
Yes. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program requires the battery to be paired with a new or existing solar system, and the battery must be on the approved, virtual-power-plant-ready product list. Every battery we install is on the list.
How much is the solar battery rebate in 2026?
The federal program cut roughly 30% off the installed cost of an eligible battery from 1 July 2025, and the discount steps down each year — so installing sooner keeps more of it. The exact figure depends on battery size; we confirm current amounts in writing before you commit.
Can I combine more than one rebate?
Often yes. For example, a Victorian household may combine the federal battery discount with a Solar Victoria interest-free loan, and VEU discounts can apply to air conditioning and heat pump hot water in the same home. We map out every program you qualify for in one quote.
What does it mean that Greener Upgrade is an Accredited Person (AP)?
Under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program only an Accredited Person can create the certificates that rebates are paid on. Greener Upgrade is AP A003285, which means we create the certificates ourselves and apply your discount directly — no third-party middleman taking a cut.
Is the rebate a cash payment?
No — for the upgrades we install, the rebate is delivered as an up-front discount on your quote. There's no waiting for a cheque or claiming money back later.
Do rebate amounts change?
Yes. Program rules and discount values change over time — the federal battery discount steps down each year, and VEU rates vary with the product, capacity and the system being replaced. Eligibility and amounts are always confirmed in writing before installation.
