Help us bring the benefits of solar to 10 local households who need it most.
Imagine having an air conditioner but being afraid to turn it on because of the electricity bill. Or avoiding using the oven or heater because every dollar counts.
For some people in our Noosa community, this is an everyday reality.
Together, we can help change that.
Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) has launched its Solar on Low-Income Homes - Pay it Forward with Power fundraising campaign.
Our goal is simple: help 10 low-income Noosa Shire households access fully funded rooftop solar systems, giving them the opportunity to enjoy significantly lower electricity bills for 20 years plus.
More than lower bills. A better
quality of life.
For a household with modest electricity use, rooftop solar could save an estimated $400–$800 every year, depending on individual circumstances. That's money that can go towards groceries, healthcare and other everyday essentials.
But the benefits go beyond financial savings.
Jean, a previous recipient, shares what having solar has meant to her: "I feel comfortable using the air conditioning occasionally or turn on some heating on cold winter mornings. I vacuum more instead of mostly just sweeping the floors. I can even use my oven!”
For Jean and others like her, solar represents something many of us take for granted - the freedom to feel comfortable in our own homes without worrying about the next electricity bill.
We've done it before. Let's do it again!
With support from Noosa Council, ZEN has already helped 10 local low-income households receive fully funded rooftop solar systems. Now we're aiming to help another 10.

You don't need to fund an entire solar system to make a real difference. Every contribution helps bring affordable, clean energy to another Noosa household.
$50 – Help a household move one step closer to lower electricity bills.
$200 – Fund approximately 5% of a complete rooftop solar installation.
$600 – Cover approximately 15% of a solar installation.
$1,800 – Fund half of a complete solar installation.
$3,600 – Fund an entire rooftop solar installation for one household.
Every donation, large or small, brings us closer to our goal and 100% of donated funds go towards purchasing the solar systems.
