2 Queensland homeowners and renters now have an unprecedented opportunity to secure their energy future with SunEnergy’s innovative SunZero solar and battery program. Thanks to an $10 million fund, SunEnergy is offering up to 600 households a fully maintained solar and battery systems at no cost, with most participants expected to save between $5,000 and $10,000 over a 10-year period. In some cases, savings could exceed $15,000—all without any upfront costs or financing. Why Queenslanders Should Act Now The SunZero Program, now expanding into Queensland following its successful pilot in South Australia, allows participants to harness the state’s abundant sunshine. With Queensland’s superior solar potential, households can not only reduce their energy bills but also potentially earn higher rebates by selling excess energy back to the grid. As we approach the 2030 Net Zero in Government Operations Strategy, which aims for net-zero government operations by 2030, the demand for energy-efficient solutions is more critical than ever. The growing adoption of electric vehicles is adding strain to the electrical grid, particularly at night when solar power is not available. SunEnergy’s program offers a solution, enabling households to safeguard themselves against rising energy costs and contribute to a more resilient grid. A True WIN-WIN-WIN Situation Ernest Brindley, Queensland’s SunEnergy Agent, expressed his enthusiasm for the program: "This is a true WIN-WIN-WIN situation. The household gets a Solar and Battery system installed for free and enjoys cheaper electricity costs, the retailers can utilise the energy stored in batteries to support the grid during times of high demand, and thirdly, we’re paid to help households reduce some of their cost of living. I'm really excited to be a part of a program that not only helps reduce emissions, but I'm extremely proud to be part of something where we can reduce the cost of living for households that may not have been able to afford a solar and battery solution otherwise." Local Impact and Benefits For Queenslanders, the financial benefits are substantial. The savings for households are significant, allowing families to redirect these funds to other important expenses such as mortgages, car payments, or even just groceries. Additionally, by locking in energy savings for the next 10 years, participants can protect families from the uncertainty of rising energy costs. Another great thing about the SunZero program is that, unlike traditional solar purchases which require a significant upfront investment—a cost that landlords or tenants are typically unwilling to bear—this program costs nothing upfront. As a result, landlords experience an instant increase in the value of their investment, while tenants can enjoy the benefit of reduced electricity costs. Eligibility and Focus Areas The program is open to all Queenslanders, subject to an eligibility assessment based on factors such as energy consumption, available roof space, shading issues, and a suitable location for the battery. While the program is available statewide, the initial focus will be on homes in the Gold Coast and Brisbane areas, as we expand our network of installers to other regions. Currently, Diamond Energy is the primary retailer with a choice of new retailers expected to offer plans on the program very soon, providing customers with options to switch to the best energy plan for their needs. Success Stories from South Australia SunEnergy’s initiative has already made a significant impact in South Australia. Customers like J Matt, who shared that SunEnergy was "absolutely AMAZING to deal with," and Michael Xuan, who is "really happy with the new battery setup," highlight the program’s success and the positive experience of participants.
