Solar Home Bonus rewards customers for creating a brighter future
We’re rewarding customers who have solar panels installed as part of our commitment to sustainability and supporting customers with initiatives to reduce their environmental impact.
In a first for the Australian market, new and existing Suncorp Bank home loan customers who have a solar power system or will have one installed in their homes by 31 December 2021, may be eligible to receive a cash bonus.
New customers can receive a $3000 bonus where solar panels are installed on their home or townhouse when they take out a loan of at least $500,000.
For existing eligible customers with no new lending, the bonus also provides a $500 reward with solar panels installed on their house or townhouse.
Solar Home Bonus eligibility for new customers:
• Application received by the closing date 31 December 2021 and settle by 31 March 2022.
• New home lending of at least $500,000;
• Investment and owner-occupied loans;

If you take a fixed rate consider rate locking as cba 2 and 3 year fixed rates has gone up 3 times in 1.5 months. So we expect the majority of the mid tier lenders to follow them over the next 1-2 months.
Broker Cashback $500 for balances between 300k and 700k net of offset & $1000 cashback for balance over 700k net of offset. Broker rebate paid post settlement normally 2 months post settlement and on complete variable into 2 payments on 2 and 24 months.
Types of clients suitable Home buyers or Construction with solar on the roof and being able to supply a electric bill to show solar is installed
We are looking for clients that are seeking a broker relationship that will be reviewing their position every 2 years to make sure its competitive to the market.
Not suitable for fully offset clients.
We are also looking for long term relationships with clients, if you intend to refinance again or sell within 12 months, the banks actually claw us back on our upfront commission completely so we would be unable to help in these circumstances. I will do my best to reply to all comments.
My experience 7 years in commsec and cba on a margin lending desk and as in in house cba branch home lender. 4 years as a mortgage broker running my own company.

How do existing customers apply? I can't see anything on their site about applying for it. Do I need to remortgage with them?
