NRN removes the barrier.
NRN pays for the solar and battery system. NRN owns it. NRN installs it, monitors it, and maintains it for the life of the agreement.
Because NRN owns the system, the landlord does not have to spend a dollar. And because the landlord does not have to spend a dollar, there is no split incentive. The barrier that locks renters out of solar disappears.
You get access to cheaper electricity. The landlord improves their property. NRN earns a return on the infrastructure it owns. Everyone is aligned from day one.
Cheaper electricity. No upfront cost. No hassle.
It works even if you move
The system stays with the property. Your lease ending doesn't change anything. The next tenant benefits too.
One plan. One bill. Lower rate.
You stay with a participating energy retailer. Your plan includes solar and battery behind it - that's what makes it cheaper.
Questions renters ask us.
Who owns the solar and battery system?
NRN owns the system for the duration of the agreement and is responsible for installation, operation, monitoring and maintenance. You do not own it and neither does your landlord.
Does my landlord need to agree?
Yes. Because the system is installed on the property, your landlord will need to agree to the installation. NRN works directly with landlords to make this straightforward. The landlord pays nothing.
Do I pay for maintenance?
No. Ongoing maintenance, monitoring and fault repairs are covered by NRN for the life of the agreement.
Does the system work in a blackout?
No. The NRN system operates only when connected to the grid. If there is a power outage, the system will automatically shut down. This is a safety requirement for all grid-connected solar systems in Australia.
