What is a green home loan?
A green home loan can offer a rate discount for a property that meets the lender's energy-efficiency requirements. Eligibility can differ for new homes and renovations. Check the required evidence and how long the discount lasts before comparing it with a standard home loan.
What evidence might a lender need?
Check the eligibility checklist for the specific loan. Requirements can differ between a new build and an existing home with upgrades. Keep the relevant energy assessment, certificates and upgrade records available, and confirm when the evidence must be supplied.
For example, Bank Australia has separate Clean Energy Home Loan pathways for new builds and renovated homes. Its property criteria and supporting evidence must be checked for the applicable pathway. Read Bank Australia's eligibility information.
How can I compare a green loan with a standard loan?
Not necessarily. Compare interest rates with interest rates and comparison rates with comparison rates, using the same loan amount, term and repayment type. Check fees, features, the discount period and the rate that applies afterwards. A green label alone does not establish the lower total cost.
Use the repayment calculator to compare the same borrowing amount and term, then check fees and eligibility separately. You can also compare home loan rates without a green-property filter.

Does installing solar automatically qualify me for a green home loan?
No. Solar panels alone do not establish eligibility. Each lender sets its own property and application requirements, which may include an energy rating, eligible upgrades and supporting documents. Confirm the requirements for your property before applying.
Is a green home loan cheaper than a normal home loan?
Not necessarily. Compare interest rates with interest rates and comparison rates with comparison rates, using the same loan amount, term and repayment type. Check fees, features, the discount period and the rate that applies afterwards. A green label alone does not establish the lower total cost.
