"Australians love rooftop solar power. About 4 million homes have solar panels
on their roofs, and we generate more solar energy per person than any other
country.
But affordability pressures on home owners are holding them back from
installing rooftop solar on millions of homes. Without this, Australia could
struggle to meet its goal of generating more than 80% of electricity) from
renewables by 2030.
We propose a bold new “use it or lend it” solar program, under which the owners
of detached and semi-detached homes would have the option of allowing the
government to install and operate solar panels on their rooftops.
This could be an effective alternative to traditional energy rebates to
accelerate the energy transition. And the electricity generated from these
systems could be allocated to low-income households and renters, who are
currently unable to access solar power."
