Victorian Residential Solar Systems
FEDERAL REBATES
Federal rebates are adjusted in the system price at the time of purchase. On the day of installation, one simply assigns the rebates to Bright Source for convenience. Rebate amount depends on the size system and location of the property. Melbourne is divided in two areas; Zone 3 and Zone 4. There are significantly more rebates for Zone 3, which makes the price of solar systems extremely affordable.
