Solar for Low Income Households

NAGA is working with the Eastern Alliance for Greenhouse Action (EAGA) to deliver solar for low income households through a regional Solar Savers program

Picture
This builds on a project run by the City of Darebin - Solar Savers - that provided solar for 294 low-income households with no up-front costs.

Instead, households are able to pay back the cost of the solar system through their rates. The payback amount added to a normal rates notice is structured to be less than the savings achieved by putting on solar.
​
​NAGA worked with the Eastern Alliance for Greenhouse Action (EAGA) to deliver a program across 22 councils made possible through a state government grant from the New Energy Jobs Fund and council contributions. 

The Solar Saver project continues working with councils to provide low cost solar to households.
