Australian households in three states will receive free solar power during midday hours starting July 2026. The government's "Solar Share" program mandates electricity providers offer at least three hours of free solar electricity when production peaks, regardless of home solar panel ownership. This initiative aims to utilize excess solar energy generated by millions of rooftop solar systems, which already contribute significantly to Australia's power supply.
