A solar for renters trial was run in 2019-20 by the then-Labor Government, but its continuation\/expansion didn&#8217;t eventuate for reasons unknown.<\/p>\n<p>It was intended up to 1,000 landlords would receive rebates of up to $3,500 under that trial; but only 670 systems were installed in various localities. The average system size was 6 kW and participating households were reportedly $600 a year better off on average. More findings <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/queensland-solar-rentals-mb1868\/\">from the trial can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As for the LNP getting on board with a new program, the Supercharged Solar for Renters rebate was first announced in March last year as an LNP election commitment. However, news of the scheme went quiet post-election until the Queensland Conservation Council early this year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/lnp-solar-queensland-mb3095\/\">prodded the powers-that-be<\/a> to make good on their promise, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/queensland-solar-renters-mb3212\/\">funds were allocated in June this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Landlords \u2014 learn more about why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar-investment-properties.html\">installing solar on your investment property<\/a> can make as much sense as putting it on your own home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took its sweet time, but Queensland&#8217;s Crisafulli Government has made good on its election commitment to provide eligible landlords in the state with rebates to install solar power systems on their rental properties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":96651,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-policy","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) -
