You are not buying a solar system. You are saying yes to one.

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.

You do not pay for the equipment, the installation, or the ongoing maintenance. There is no loan, no lease, and no finance arrangement in your name.

All NRN needs is your agreement to install the system on the property. Everything else is handled by NRN.

How NRN removes the barrier for landlords
Capital improvement for landlords

A capital improvement that pays for itself, and then transfers to you.

Your rental property gets a professionally installed solar and battery system. Tenants notice. In a competitive rental market, lower energy costs are a genuine point of difference.

You do not take on any maintenance responsibility. NRN monitors every system 24/7 and handles all repairs at its own cost. If something goes wrong with the system, your tenant contacts NRN, not you.

At the end of the agreement, ownership of the system transfers to you at no cost.

From approval to ongoing management.

Step 1 / 7

Check your property's eligibility.

We assess whether your property is suitable for an NRN system based on its location, roof, and electrical setup. Your property manager can start this process on your behalf.

Questions landlords ask us.

What does it cost me?

Nothing upfront. NRN pays for the system, the installation, and all ongoing maintenance. The energy account is in your name and energy costs are passed through to the tenant as part of the lease.

Who owns the system?

NRN owns the solar and battery system for the duration of the agreement. At the end of the agreement, ownership transfers to you at no cost.

Is anything put on my property title?

NRN records its ownership of the system at the property. For most sites, NRN will lodge a caveat on the property title.

What happens when tenants change?

Your property manager notifies NRN of the vacancy. NRN reconciles the electricity account with your property manager and final charges are settled before the bond is released. When a new tenant signs the lease, the energy terms are included and billing resumes.

What if a tenant demands their own energy retailer?

Your tenant always has the right to choose their energy retailer. The lease includes terms about the energy plan associated with the property, and we encourage landlords and tenants to discuss this before signing. If you have questions about how this works, get in touch with our team.

What if the property is vacant?

During a vacancy, you are responsible for energy charges at the property. Your property manager handles payment to the retailer and includes it in your income statement. Once a new tenant signs the lease, energy costs transfer to them.

What if something breaks?

NRN owns the system and is responsible for fixing faults. We monitor every system 24/7 and will always try to resolve issues remotely first. If needed, we organise a site visit at our cost.

What if I sell my home?

If you sell your home, you buy out the system as part of the settlement. The price is based on the age and remaining value of the system, and is detailed in your agreement.
