Bipartisan support emerging for financing home solar

From Nights, 10:18 pm on 29 May 2025

Energy minister Simon Watts says he is open to a policy enabling access to low-interest finance options for homeowners wanting to install solar panels.

Labour energy spokesperson Megan Woods is also a fan of the policy, designed to reduce barriers to taking up solar energy - an investment which often includes high up-front installation costs.

The CEO of advocacy group Rewiring Aotearoa Mike Casey joins Emile Donovan.
