The Australian Government has recently announced a $252.2 million initiative to encourage the installation of greenhouse friendly hot water systems. The rebate offers eligible households a $1000 rebate to replace existing electric storage hot water systems with solar or heat pump hot water systems.

The Solar Hot Water Rebate is an exciting initiative to help Australian households cut their greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs and promote the solar hot water industry. Hot water heated by an electric storage system uses up almost a third of a typical household's electricity, making hot water the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from the home. By replacing an electric storage with a solar or heat pump system households can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by between 2-4 tonnes of CO2 and cut between $300-700 off their electricity bill per year, depending on the type of system and the local climate where the system is installed. Further details on the rebate are available from the Solar Hot Water Rebate website, www.greenhouse.gov.au/solarhotwater or phone the national Solar Hot Water Rebate hotline on 1800 808 571.
