Residential Solar Grants and Support
Residential Solar Grants and Support
Switching to solar at home is easier than most people expect. While New Zealand doesn’t offer nationwide rebates for residential solar just yet, homeowners in Hawke’s Bay can still tap into meaningful support through bank-backed green loans and energy-efficient finance options. With our region’s long sunshine hours and rising power prices, solar quickly becomes one of the smartest and most cost-effective upgrades a household can make.
Although there are no direct government rebates for standard households, Hawke’s Bay homeowners can still access strong pathways to help manage the upfront cost of solar.
Green & Sustainable Home Loans
Most major banks offer low-interest or special-rate loans for solar and battery installations, including:
These loans can typically be used for:
Regional Support Programmes
• Community Renewable Energy Fund (CREF)
Supports renewable energy installations for community buildings, marae, and resilience hubs in regions like Hawke’s Bay. (Not for private homes, but excellent for local projects.)
Why Hawke’s Bay Homes Benefit
With long sunshine hours and rising electricity costs, solar payback periods in Hawke’s Bay are among the best in NZ. Most households reach payback in 6–9 years, depending on system size and usage patterns.
Why choose solar for your home?
