Landlords qualify for Australia’s solar rebate, with some states even having additional schemes. This means landlords will save money when purchasing a solar system, and on electricity bills as well as increase the value of the home upon selling.
In the eyes of a renter, a home with solar installed is incredibly desirable. While there is no shortage of renters now, solar could give landlords a competitive advantage for quality renters.
A tip for landlords to keep in mind is that for larger family homes, a 6.6kW solar system is worth the investment, providing great savings on electricity bills and bang for your buck.
Renters find solar attractive not just because of its financial benefits but also its positive environmental impact, therefore properties with solar are going to be their first choice when selecting a rental.
It would be great to see more landlords install solar, as it appears to be a win-win for everyone.
