Created as a portfolio entity within the Department of Environment, Water, Land and Planning, Solar Victoria is responsible for the delivery of the Victorian Government’s Solar Homes Program – one of the most ambitious and transformative renewable energy programs in Australia.
The program is a key initiative in the Victorian Government’s commitment to reduce energy costs, boost energy supply, create new jobs in the renewables sector and tackle climate change.
In the first year of program operations, over 33,000 households have taken up the program offering and installed Solar PV and Solar Hot Water systems. This rapid take up highlights the willingness of Victorians to adopt renewable energy technology, take charge of their power bills and to create a better future.
