Sunshine Coast residents wanting a cost effective way to reduce their electricity costs can take advantage of the very generous solar hot water rebates that the Queensland government is offering. Rebates range from $600 to $1000 depending on a number of factors that will be determined through the application process.

Note that the Queensland’s Governments solar rebate scheme is a standalone program that is entirely separate to what the federal government is implementing with added provisions for the Qld flood victims and those affected by typhoon Yasi.

Installing solar hot water in Sunshine Coast properties can reduce overall energy bills by up to 25% and also make significant cuts to your household’s carbon emissions, reducing it by up to 2 tons every year.

Under the federal and state rebates, you can save up to $2500 on the average retail price of a system, broken down as follows: $5100 (average retail price) – $600 (state rebate for non pensioners) – $1000 (average federal rebate) – $900 for issued STCs = $2600. The rebate policy will pay almost half of the system cost for you given that you abide by the following eligibility factors.

1. It is for the replacement of an existing electric hot water system to solar hot water at your principal residence within Queensland.
2. Solar hot water systems must be eligible for at least 20 STCs ( determined by the system output)
3. Installation must be conducted by licensed parties.
4. The system must meet or exceed the warranty periods.
5. Follow the state and federal government’s guidelines throughout the application process to ensure quality and safety.

The comprehensive solar hot water rebate provided by the Queensland government is part of their ” Do the Bright Thing” campaign, which is aimed at reduced power bills, improved energy efficient measures and carbon reduction for every home.
