Hot water rebates by state
What each state takes off a heat pump or solar hot water system in 2026, and which programs have closed.
Last checked
Victoria offers the most, with Solar Victoria putting its rebate and discount together at up to $1,630 for most eligible systems. NSW takes up to $640 off a heat pump that replaces electric. South Australia leaves the amount to energy retailers, and Queensland's appliance rebate has closed. Your installer's quoted price already includes the federal STC discount in every state.
