Solar for rental properties
Let’s talk benefits for your investment
If you’re a landlord wondering whether solar is worth the investment for your rental properties, you’re not alone.
Let’s explore the benefits to see if it’s the right fit for you:
Increase Property Appeal and Value
Solar equipped homes stand out to tenants looking for energy efficient properties that help lower their power bills. Installing solar can also boost your property’s resale value, making it a smart long-term investment.
Solar Victoria Rebate
Landlords in Victoria may be eligible for financial incentives through Solar Victoria, including rebates of up to $1,400 on a solar PV system for up to two rental properties per financial year. You can also take advantage of an interest-free loan to help cover installation costs.

Reduced Tenant Turnover
Tenants appreciate the savings on their energy bills that come with solar. By making your property more affordable to heat and cool, you improve tenant satisfaction, reduce vacancy rates, and encourage long-term leases — creating a more stable rental income.
Tax Deductions
Solar is considered a depreciable asset, so you may be eligible to claim tax deductions on its installation. Be sure to consult your accountant to understand the specifics and maximize your tax benefits.
Lower Carbon Footprint
More Australians are looking to reduce their environmental impact — including renters. Nearly one-third of Australian households are rentals, and solar can make your property more sustainable and future-proof for environmentally conscious tenants.
