Zero-Cost Solar & Battery packages
What is the Zero-Cost Solar & Battery package?
With our Zero-Cost Solar & Battery package, you can get a complete solar panel and battery system, expertly installed and managed, at no upfront cost.
The Clean Energy Project together with the National Renewables Network (NRN) will manage the installation and maintenance of your solar panel and battery system end-to-end.
In turn, you pay a fixed low rate of 18c per KW hour, saving the typical homeowner annual 20-25% on their electricity bill.
At the end of the 10 year term, you can either buy the equipment from us at a discounted rate, or sign up for another term to keep benefiting from the savings at no cost to you.
Creating a win-win situation for Australian homeowners and the environment.

Plus, we use our expertise to work through different energy market situations, which helps lower costs for everyone. Being part of this crew means you're not just saving money, you're also doing your bit for the environment. Cool, right?
No need to worry about upfront costs.
With our setup, you only pay a discounted rate for the power you use from the Solar & Battery system. We've got fixed daily fees that take care of the regular network expenses and give you access to VPP. And guess what? All of these costs are bundled up nicely in your new, cheaper energy plan. Keeps things easy!
If you're thinking about selling your home, we've got you covered with three options.
First up, having a fully installed Solar & Battery system can actually increase your home's value, making it more appealing to potential buyers. You can buy the system according to the depreciation schedule and recoup the cost when you sell.
Another option: The Clean Energy Project can sort out an access agreement transfer for the system, so the new owners can keep enjoying those exclusive rates.
Lastly, if you want to part ways with the NRN System, just give us a shout at the Clean Energy Project. Once you've paid off the system's total cost, we'll handle everything. We'll arrange for a Solar Retailer to take out and relocate the system to an approved site. Once it's removed and paid for, your commitments under the contract come to an end.
The agreement includes service and maintenance for a solid 10 years. Whenever you feel like it, you can decide to buy out the system at its depreciated value. If you stick with us for the full 10 years, we've got you covered. We'll upgrade your battery and inverter at no extra charge. And hey, if you decide to bail after 24 months, no worries - there's no early exit fees. We've got your back!
Absolutely! You've can buy your Solar and Battery system whenever you're ready, following the depreciation schedule outlined in your service and maintenance agreement. The depreciation rate might differ depending on your specific system. When you decide to make the purchase, we'll transfer all warranties to you, guaranteeing that you've got full coverage. It's all about giving you the freedom of choice!
