Rebate for solar hot water changes in NSW

The NSW Government has just decreased (on 15 January 2010) the rebate they pay on solar hot water systems and heat pumps, proving once again that if a rebate is on offer from a government, grab it while it lasts.

Residents of NSW can now claim a $300 rebate if they switch from electric to solar hot water or heat pump. (Before 15 January, the rebate was up to $1200, depending on the number of RECs attracted by the new sysem).

The NSW rebate is additional to the $1600 Federal solar hot water rebate.

We can’t find any announcement of the change to the rebate. They seemed to just change the website information and hope that people find it.
