The Solar for Apartments Program is jointly funded by the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments to support apartment households to benefit from lower energy bills through installing solar.

An additional 5000 rebates of up to $2,800 per apartment (up to $140,000 per property) are available until 30 April 2026, or until all rebates are exhausted, whichever comes first.

Rebates are available for apartment buildings, strata townhouses and units under the control of an Owners Corporation and sharing a common property rooftop.

By adopting solar, an average household in a multi-unit development can save up to $500 a year on their energy bills.

Rebates are applied by your chosen retailer as a discount on your invoice to reduce your upfront costs. If you are a retailer, you can go to information for retailers.

The Solar for Apartments Program is jointly funded by the Victorian and Commonwealth governments.

Rebates will be provided to Victorian Owners Corporations (OCs) with up to 50 occupiable lots. To be eligible, your OC must:

• be a ‘tier three Owners Corporation’ or ‘tier four Owners Corporation’, as defined by the Owners Corporations Act 2006 (Vic) – this refers to OCs that consist of 3 to 50 occupiable lots and are not a ‘services only Owners Corporation’
• not have previously received funding under the Solar for Apartments Program.

OCs should engage both owner-occupiers and owner-investors on the benefits of the program and encourage their participation.

Entities not eligible for funding include:

• individuals
• government agencies
• private sector businesses and agencies
• educational institutions
• local government authorities
• not for profit organisations.
