Cult retail giant Bunnings has unveiled a new plan to slash homeowner bills by up to 25 per cent.

The hardware giant has expanded its Zelora program into Queensland, Victoria and South Australia after a successful trial in New South Wales, letting households install home upgrades for hundreds rather than thousands upfront.

Zelora solar systems are now available on a subscription basis over 10 years at Bunnings in major cities in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia after a successful NSW trial period.

Bunnings move to slash electricity bills for Aussie households: 'Meaningful savings'

Hardware giant Bunnings is rolling out a new subscription service across the country, which it says will make solar and batteries more accessible for Aussies. More than one in three Aussie households now have rooftop solar, and an increasing number are buying batteries, but the upfront cost is often a major deterrent.

Following a trial in Sydney and Newcastle last year, Bunnings is today expanding its solar and battery subscription offering 'Zelora' across metropolitan Queensland, Victoria and South Australia. The service allows customers to avoid big upfront costs and instead pay monthly, with full ownership of the system at the end of a 10-year term.

Bunnings and Intellihub expand solar and home battery offer

Bunnings and Intelluhub are expanding their home electrification offer, Zelora, bringing more affordable solar and battery options to Australians.

Following a successful trial in Sydney and Newcastle last year, Zelora is now being rolled out across metropolitan Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia, significantly increasing access to the offer nationwide.

Zelora provides a subscription-based model that allows customers to pay monthly, with full ownership of the system at the end of the 10-year term. The offer is backed by Bunnings and delivered in partnership with Intellihub.

The subscription includes ongoing performance monitoring, fault resolution, smart energy optimisation and centralised customer support, which is managed via a mobile app. This helps households optimise and manage their energy use, maximise savings, and provide grid responsiveness.
