Can distributed solar and battery storage power New Zealand's economy?
“Distributed solar and battery storage can power the electrification of the economy most cost-effectively for all New Zealanders. “SEANZ continues to work constructively with government ministers and agencies to identify barriers and propose solutions to our energy system challenges”, says Gareth Williams.
Does New Zealand have rooftop solar?
New Zealand’s residential uptake of rooftop solar is lower than many other countries. In order to shift the tide, the Government is making changes to:
Is solar PV a viable option for New Zealand households?
This is the first study in New Zealand to use detailed and high-quality data for both solar supply and residential demand. It shows solar PV is likely to be financially viable for a significant proportion of New Zealand households, particularly for those who consume a lot of energy.
How much does a solar panel cost in New Zealand?
You’ll pay around $8,000 fully installed. While global demand bumped prices slightly in and , costs are falling again in — thanks to sharp drops in solar panel pricing.

Should residential rooftop solar PV be priced at a sufficient scale?
While it has been shown that residential rooftop solar PV alone has similar returns to utility-scale solar, residential rooftop solar PV at a suficient scale can access more benefits because it is distributed in distribution networks. To fully utilise such benefits, static time-of-use pricing may be suficient initially.
What is residential rooftop solar PV?
Residential rooftop solar PV provides a means for consumers to lower their electricity costs, particularly if they choose to move more of their household energy consumption to electricity. This is the first study in New Zealand to use detailed and high-quality data for both solar supply and residential demand.
The central aim of this study is to examine the economics of distributed, residential rooftop solar PV across New Zealand to better understand its long-term value proposition.
Residential rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) generation is now one of the most accessible and cost-efective options to increase energy supply from renewable resources. The use of the technology has evolved from its inception to the present day, alongside dramatic cost decreases and rapid uptake
