Installing solar panels has never been more affordable—and many Kiwis don’t realise how much they could save on their energy bills.
Solar panels capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity – meaning you can use free, renewable, low carbon electricity.
The cost of installing solar panels has fallen over the past decade and now thanks to green loans, Kiwis can enjoy the benefits of solar power without the upfront investment.
Solar: The Future Of Cheap Energy
Solar is one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy across New Zealand4 and has been heavily incentivised as the government looks to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.5
Solar panels aren’t just better for the environment – they also protect you from rising energy prices and boost your property value.6
5 Massive Benefits of Installing Solar Panels in 2025
- Power your high-demand appliances — Solar energy from your PV system can power your biggest energy consumers, including hot water heaters, electric vehicles, swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs.7
- Maximise value during daylight hours — If you’re home during the day, or use smart technology like a home energy management system to optimise charging, laundry, or water heating, you can make the most of the energy you generate.7
- Sell any excess energy — You can sell surplus electricity back to your retailer, although typically at a lower rate than the price you’d pay to buy it from them.7
- Achieve zero emissions — By switching to solar, you reduce your home’s carbon footprint, using clean, renewable energy instead of grid electricity (which is around 80-85% renewable).7
- Low maintenance — Solar panels have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with only a slight decline in efficiency over time—around 0.5% annually.7
