Apply online to become a Brighte-accredited vendor, which takes about 10 minutes, then complete Brighte's training so your team can offer the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme. All installations must meet the Australian Standards required under the ACT Electricity Safety Act 1971.
When does Brighte pay vendors for ACT Sustainable Household Scheme jobs?
Brighte pays you directly for ACT Sustainable Household Scheme jobs once the job is complete, your customer has confirmed it, and you've provided the required settlement documents: your invoice, STC paperwork and Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW). Your customer then repays Brighte over time.
Which products can vendors offer through the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme?
Vendors can offer ACT Sustainable Household Scheme loans for batteries, EV chargers, efficient heating and cooling, heat-pump and evacuated-tube hot water systems, efficient electric cooktops, eligible fully electric vehicles, e-cargo bikes and ceiling insulation. Solar panels, hybrid vehicles and mid-floor or between-floor insulation aren't eligible.

Your customers pay 3% fixed interest on an ACT Sustainable Household Scheme loan, with no establishment, account-keeping or introducer fees. A $4.99 late fee may apply if they miss a repayment, capped at $49.90 a year.
Can ACT Sustainable Household Scheme vendors also offer the ACT Home Energy Support Program?
