A joint initiative between the Federal and Victorian governments is providing an additional $32 million to support a wider rollout and installation of solar for residential apartments.
The third round of the Victorian Solar for Apartments program is now open, helping more residents in Victorian apartments to access the benefits of rooftop solar.
The program provides funding through body corporates to support the installation of shared rooftop solar systems on eligible apartment buildings and other multi-unit dwellings in Victoria.
Round three of the program provides 5000 rebates of up to $2800 per apartment, as well as $140,000 per building. Energy bill savings under the program are estimated to be up to $500 a year for each apartment.
This program aims to also breakdown common barriers to rooftop solar access, such as renting and not owning the apartment, not being able to afford the initial capital, as well as difficulty securing and agreements with their owner’s corporation.
Residents have until 5pm Thursday 30 April 2026 to apply.
