Installing a solar system on your rental property in Queensland can bring about a multitude of advantages for both landlords and tenants. As a landlord, not only can you enhance the value and desirability of your property, but you can also differentiate it from other rental properties in the market. Solar power is particularly effective on detached rental properties, such as houses, townhouses, or duplexes, that have a solid and well-exposed roof.

By installing a solar system, your tenants can reap the benefits of using solar power in their homes to lower their electricity bills. This is especially advantageous for tenants who work from home or consume a significant amount of energy during the day. With the savings on their electricity bills, tenants are more likely to renew their lease, which can help reduce the costs associated with vacancy for landlords, as well as lead to increased satisfaction and longer tenancy periods. Tenants will be able to sell excess solar power back to the grid through a feed-in-tariff, which will be reflected in their electricity bills, allowing them to lower their electricity bills. Additionally, this arrangement encourages the use of renewable energy and helps to reduce the overall carbon footprint of the rental properties.

In addition to this, the installation of solar panels on your rental property can make your property more attractive to potential tenants as it is an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution to rising electricity costs that is in high demand. Installing solar on an investment property not only provides valuable benefits to your tenants, such as cost savings on electricity bills, but it also demonstrates your commitment as a landlord to making a positive impact on the environment and reducing the community’s carbon footprint.

Additionally, as a landlord, you may be able to claim depreciation on the cost of the solar system, which can help offset the costs. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows for landlords to claim depreciation on the cost of the solar system as a tax deduction over a period. This means that landlords can claim a percentage of the cost of the solar system as a deduction in their tax return each year, reducing the overall cost of the solar system.
