What Customers Say About Our Rebate Process
"Supply Solar handled the entire Solar Victoria application — I didn't have to fill in a single form. The rebate was already knocked off my invoice before I even paid. Seamless process."
"I had no idea about the heat pump rebate until Supply Solar mentioned it during the solar quote. We ended up claiming both the solar and hot water rebates on the same visit. Saved significantly more than expected."
"They were upfront that there's no EV charger rebate anymore — other companies were still quoting like it existed. That honesty made me trust them with the solar and battery installation."
