Solar Photovoltaics Community Hubs (Solar Hubs Program)
Solar Hubs Program
The Solar Hubs Program (Solar Photovoltaics Community Hubs) is a Victorian Government program which aims to deliver community-based solar power across our state.
By providing communities with access to more competitively priced solar power, the program helps residents to:
- save money on their household bills
- reduce their environmental impact.
Solar Hubs will also help to develop the solar sector in Victoria by:
- driving investment
- creating new jobs
- educating and informing about solar power.
