Solar Saver Bulk Buy Program

We've done the research, so that you can find a reliable solar installer and get value for money.

Bulk Buy Program expressions of interest are open to residents and businesses in Darebin. You can register your interest below:

Our installer

We have done the homework for you, via a competitive tender process, to find our reliable installer Envirogroup. We have negotiated a 10-year warranty for inverter and installation, 12 years on the solar PV panel parts and a 25-year performance warranty on panels. We have set a high-quality standard in terms of manufacturing quality and the efficiency of the system. Installers must be Clean Energy Council (CEC) registered installers and adhere to strict safety and quality standards. Envirogroup has demonstrated high levels of experience with 19 years of residential and commercial installations.

Solar Homes Rebate

Many households may be eligible for the Solar Homes rebate from the Victorian Government, which can reduce the cost of your upfront costs, and you may also be able to apply for a four-year interest free loan for the same value as your rebate.

The solar provider will assist you in applying for the Solar Homes rebate. Please visit Solar Victoria for more information about the rebate and to see if you are eligible.

How the program works

You pay the upfront cost of the system (including GST). Many households decide to finance this via their mortgage; however these decisions are up to each household based on what makes sense for them.

Households can save money on power bills with estimated payback period on standard systems between 2-10 years (depending on your energy use, rebate eligibility, roof size and other factors).

The Bulk Buy Program offers you a larger choice of products, and a shorter wait-time than the Solar Saver Rates Program, and there are no eligibility requirements. However, you need to be a resident or business operating within Darebin.

Register

If you want to proceed, register below and choose the Bulk Buy option. We will pass your contact details on to our solar provider. If solar is a viable option for you, you will be offered a free no-obligation quote. The solar provider will talk you through what system will work for your house and your budget.
