Homeowners wishing to install a new solar system may qualify for up to $8000.00 in rebates for a 1kW PV system. The rebate is subject to a means test of $100,000 combined household taxable income. Homeowners wanting to expand an existing PV system may qualify for up to $5000 subject to the means test. Grants of 50% of the system cost up to 2kW are available to community organisations.

In Western Australia the Sustainable Energy Development Office (SEDO) administers the RRPGP, which has several subprograms including:
Rebates of up to 50 per cent of the capital cost of renewable generation and essential enabling equipment are available to applicants that fully comply with the eligibility requirements and procedures outlined in the sub-programme guidelines.
