Supercharged Solar for Renters Program

The Supercharged Solar for Renters Program will assist with tackling the cost of living by providing eligible landlords with rebates of up to $3,500 to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on their rental properties, driving down electricity bills for tenants across Queensland.

Rebates will be available to eligible Queensland rental properties with existing tenancy agreements, ensuring immediate benefits for tenants.

The program will help deliver on the Queensland Government’s commitment to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy.

Program benefits

About 6,500 renting households are expected to save more than $700 per year on their electricity bills, depending on where they live and the size of their solar system.

Landlords will also see benefits, as installing a solar system can make rental properties more appealing to prospective tenants, increase property value, and provide a point of difference in the rental market.

Eligibility and timeframes

Eligibility requirements will be established for applicants, dwelling types, products and installers. These will be released ahead of the program launch later this year.

To be considered for a rebate, eligible solar PV systems must be quoted by eligible installers. Installations will only be eligible if they are installed after the program opens and conditional approval has been granted.
