More financial incentives:

The Government of Western Australia is offering rebates to householders who install gas-boosted solar water heaters. The rebates are part of the Government’s long-standing policy to promote the use of best practice, low greenhouse gas emission water heaters. People may be eligible for the rebates if they are buying a new gas-boosted solar water heater (with two panels or more) for private residential purposes. A $500 rebate is available to buy a natural gas-boosted solar water heater. Another $700 rebate is available for a bottled LP gas-boosted solar water heater used in areas without reticulated gas.

Additionally, the Federal Government offers financial incentives to encourage the use of solar hot water systems. This is part of the Federal Government’s Mandatory Renewable Energy Target. Up to $1,200 of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) may be available to householders replacing an electric hot water system or building a new home.
