Govt Moves to Boost Household Solar Power
- The New Zealand government announced changes to allow households with solar panels to send more power to the grid and receive faster building consents.
- These changes respond to restrictions limiting solar export due to voltage limits and inconsistent council decision-making on consents for rooftop solar.
- Key proposals include expanding permitted voltage range from +/- 6% to +/- 10% and removing consent requirements for solar panels on existing homes.
- Modeling indicates this could increase solar investment and generation by 507 GWh, while reducing the processing time for building consents related to solar-equipped new homes from 20 to 10 working days.
- Officials said these changes will improve energy security, reduce emissions, and help households save money by better integrating rooftop solar and electric vehicle charging.

The British government wants to impose the installation of solar panels on the roofs of almost all new residential buildings, a useful measure for the environment and for saving energy bills, but questions arise among developers.
The solar energy market in Argentina has been growing steadily in recent times, adding even greater expansion potential. The situation is particularly replicated in Córdoba, which leads the nationally distributed generation. What is the distributed generation? It is a system in which users have the ability to generate their own energy from renewable sources, such as solar. If these users generate surplus energy, they can inject them into the loc…
