“A new solar and storage scheme aims to tackle the problem of “power poverty” in Australia head on, by offering low income households around Australia the option to install both solar and battery storage for no upfront cost.

The scheme, unveiled by “solar marketplace” ShineHub on Wednesday morning, will initially be open to 1000 households across all states except the Northern Territory and Tasmania.
