Solar Hot Water Government Rebates

The Queensland Government announced on 22 June 2012 that the Solar Hot Water Rebate (the Rebate) has now closed, with applications to be received by close of business on Friday 28 September 2012.

The Rebate has achieved its objective to support households to replace inefficient electric storage water heaters with solar water heaters, with over 35,000 households having received the rebate since July 2010.  This equates to more than $25.9 million in rebates received by households. Over one third of recipients have been pensioners or low income earners.  

• The system must have been purchased or ordered (and a deposit paid) by close of business on 22 June 2012. The supporting documentation must clearly show this.
• The system must be installed by 27 July 2012.
• Rebate applications must be:
  - fully complete, including all supporting documentation
  - lodged on the current form (V3-18.02.11)
  - received by the department and postmarked no later than 28 September 2012.

It is important to note that:

• Systems purchased or ordered after 22 June 2012 are not eligible for the Rebate.
• Systems installed after 27 July 2012 are not eligible for the Rebate.
• Incomplete applications are not eligible for the Rebate.
• Applications received on superseded forms are not eligible for the Rebate.
• Applications received by the department and post marked after 28 September 2012 are not eligible for the Rebate.

Ineligible applications will be retained by the Queensland Government in accordance with the Public Records Act 2002.

These applicant requirements are in addition to all existing applicant requirements as set out in the guideline and apply to all applications for systems installed after 22 June 2012.
