Solar solutions to improve energy affordability for low-income renters

该项目旨在为低收入租房者提供太阳能解决方案。低收入家庭将较高比例的收入用于电费。太阳能是降低电力成本，从而提高能源负担能力的关键途径。租房者基本上被排除在这个机会之外。项目的预期成果是获得适合广泛应用于低收入私人、公共和社区租赁住房的太阳能的解决方案。采用该项目的成果预计将使低收入租房者受益，帮助电力零售商维持和扩大其客户群，并为提供租赁住房和住宅太阳能和电池系统的许多利益相关者提供商业激励。

This Project aims to develop solutions for low-income renters to access solar energy. Low-income households spend higher proportions of income on electricity costs. Solar energy is a key way to reduce electricity costs and thus improve energy affordability. Renters are largely excluded from this opportunity. Intended Project outcomes are solutions to access solar energy suitable for widespread application to low-income private, public and community rental housing. Adoption of the Project’s outcomes are expected to benefit low-income renters, assist electricity retailers to maintain and extend their customer base, and provide commercial incentives for the many stakeholders providing rental housing and residential solar and battery systems.
