Solar for rentals receives budget funds from Queensland state government

Queensland Government’s $26 Million Upgrade Program: Big Wins for Renters, Landlords – and Solar with UV Power

The Queensland Government has announced a bold $26 million investment in rental property upgrades, set to benefit around 6,500 households across the state. This initiative targets homes with existing tenancy agreements, ensuring that renters experience real benefits — lower energy bills, improved comfort, and cleaner living.

But it’s not just renters who win. Landlords stand to gain significantly — especially when partnering with solar experts like UV Power.

Why Landlords Should Act Now — and Why UV Power is Your Best Partner

1. Government Support + Solar Expertise:
   Landlords can tap into government funding to upgrade properties with solar panels, battery storage, and energy efficiency solutions. UV Power has over 15 years of experience delivering high-value, compliant solar solutions that maximise returns for property owners.

2. Boost Property Value & Appeal:
   A solar-powered rental is a smart investment. It lowers energy costs for tenants, which increases demand and allows landlords to stand out in a crowded rental market. Energy-efficient homes also rent faster and retain tenants longer.

3. Protect Against Future Regulation:
   As rental energy standards evolve, landlords who invest now avoid costly retrofits later. With UV Power, your system is future-ready — designed for long-term performance, compliance, and minimal maintenance.

4. Tax-Effective Upgrade:
   Solar and battery systems installed on investment properties may offer tax advantages. Combined with government funding, this can make upgrading surprisingly affordable.

5. Energy Equity for All:
   By choosing UV Power, landlords aren’t just investing in their property — they’re investing in a better future. Our systems help reduce emissions, support local jobs, and bring clean energy to all corners of the community.
