More than two thirds of voters would rather back a party that invests in wind and solar energy and helps consumers install batteries to store clean power, a poll suggests.

The survey, commissioned by the left-leaning Australia Institute, also found 72 per cent of voters would be more likely vote for a political party that pushed for solar panels on every home, hospital and school.

It found 71 per cent would prefer a party that helped voters get battery storage, and 64 per cent would rather back one that wanted to transition to 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030.
