Renters can access free daytime electricity under the Solar Sharer Offer, as long as the home has a smart meter. You don’t need rooftop solar, and you don’t need to own the property. Contact your energy retailer to opt in once the scheme launches on 1 July 2026.

One practical limitation worth knowing. Smart appliances and schedulable devices, like programmable washing machines or EV chargers, make a bigger difference than the scheme on its own. Even without those, running high-draw appliances manually during the free window delivers real savings over a year.
