Supercharged Solar for Renters
Queensland’s Supercharged Solar for Renters program aims to give tenants access to solar savings by incentivising landlords.
When you own a home in Queensland, going solar is almost a no-brainer, as rooftop solar panels slash electricity bills, boost property value, and pay themselves off in just a few years.
For years, renters have watched their neighbours enjoy cheap solar energy while facing rising electricity costs, due to the "split-incentive" where landlords pay for the system, but tenants get the benefit.
Queensland’s upcoming program will directly incentivise solar for rental properties, making it easier for landlords to install solar and for tenants to access the savings.
The state government will directly incentivise solar for rental properties.
