"Queensland is the Sunshine State. The Greens want more solar at the residential, commercial and utility scale – it's good for people and the climate," she said.

Greens national leader Christine Milne said Queenslanders deserved opportunities, not disincentives, to take up solar power.

- $40 million for grants to provide solar power for social housing and low-income households.

- $30 million in low-interest loans to help Queenslanders put solar panels on their roofs.

- $100 million to be set aside for solar research.

"We want to make sure Queenslanders control their power bills, not the big energy companies."

Senator Milne said the central part of the Queensland Greens' campaign was a push for a fairer deal from power companies providing the money to consumers under the solar tariff.

Under Labor, there was a 44-cent solar feed-in tariff for consumers, but that was reduced to 8c to new sign-ups when the LNP won office.

The government argues that because all power consumers "pay" for the solar feed-in tariff, it is artificially increasing power prices.

The government later altered the legislation to force solar users locked in under the Labor scheme to negotiate directly with their power providers, allowing the market to set the solar tariff return.
