This is a fantastic initiative. Hopefully all parties subscribe to this.

It's win win for all involved. Only power companies would be against this.

*Solar for some. Not everyone qualifies

Who doesn't qualify?

It’ll have an income threshold, and renters aren’t mentioned at all.

I don't think it's too unreasonable:

Eligibility criteria for the solar rebate will be households where the:

  • Combined household income of less than $250,000
  • Property valued at less than 1.5 times the national median house price (currently $1.15m) or 1.5 times Auckland and Queenstown median house price (approximately $1.49m and $1.9m, respectively).
  • Solar system is a minimum of 2Kw

The rebate will be available for rental properties.
