Solar in Casey — What You Need to Know
Casey is Canberra's newest suburb and arguably the ACT's best solar location. Built almost entirely after 2000, the housing stock is modern, structurally optimised, and many homes were built with solar-ready wiring already installed. The suburb's wide streets, single-storey homes, and low canopy give excellent year-round solar access. ACT's zero feed-in tariff sounds discouraging but the 25c retail rate means self-consumption is highly valuable — Casey's young families with children at home achieve 68% self-consumption. The ACT Sustainable Household Scheme's 0% interest loans (up to $15,000) are widely used here for solar and battery packages.
Casey solar fact
Casey has the ACT's highest rate of new homes with solar-ready wiring pre-installed — 67% of homes built after 2015 had conduit and metering in place
