What are the best solar options for renters in Australia in 2026?

A SolarWise Team Answered by

Renters can ask their landlord for permission to install a system, but the landlord, strata body corporate and electricity distributor may all need to approve it. If fixed panels are not practical, consider a portable solar setup where safe and permitted, a community-solar program, or a renewable electricity plan from an energy retailer. Installation rebates and export arrangements can depend on the system, property and applicant, so they are not automatically available to tenants. Check the current guidance at energy.gov.au and confirm any installation or lease conditions with your landlord and a licensed installer.
