Take the hassle out of financing your solar system with green home loans. With many banks offering competitive rates, you can enjoy the benefits of solar power without the upfront investment.
Read the answers to commonly asked questions below.
Green home loans are financing options provided by banks to Kiwi’s who want to make energy-efficient and eco-friendly upgrades to their homes. These loans can top-up an existing home mortgage often at zero to low interest rates. This makes solar system installations more affordable than ever! With no upfront costs more Kiwis can make the switch to cost-saving eco-friendly energy systems.
A solar power system is an eco-friendly way to generate energy from a sustainable source while significantly reducing costs from rising power bills. This makes them attractive to homebuyers and investors. Research from homes.co.nz indicates that a solar system increases the home’s selling price by 4.4% or $35,000. In Australia, solar installations have increased the resale value of a home by up to $6,000 per kilowatt of solar energy.
No, currently there are no government subsidy programmes or feed-in tariffs for solar installations. There is, however, regional solar financing from councils. Hawkes Bay Regional Council offers a sustainable home funding programme and Marlborough offers a funding scheme for solar and other energy efficient upgrades.
Whether you need a battery really depends on your energy needs. A solar system can operate without a battery, and you can consume electricity from your solar panels as it is generated. Having a solar battery lets you store excess energy for electrical use when sunlight is scarce and provides greater independence from grid supplied energy.
