Kiwis would be able to borrow up to $15,000 to install photovoltaic panels at home and pay back via rates.

The Green Party's promise to save households $100 a year on power bills by lending them money to buy solar panels has been tentatively backed by energy experts, despite the Government's claims that the policy is a costly subsidy.

The party announced the second part of its energy policy in Auckland yesterday. Under the Solar Homes scheme, New Zealanders would be able to borrow up to $15,000 from the Government to install photovoltaic panels and then pay it back via their council rates over 15 years.

The interest rate on the loan would be the same as the Crown borrowing rate - at present 4.1 per cent.

Labour leader David Cunliffe said it appeared to be a sensible policy that his party would consider supporting once it had done a thorough analysis of the figures.

Greens co-leader Russel Norman said it was a cost-neutral policy and required no subsidy. That was disputed by the Government.


Energy Minister Simon Bridges said if the scheme required a lower interest rate, it was a government subsidy. He said solar was not a priority because of the abundance of cheaper renewable energy such as hydro, geothermal and wind.

The Greens and National have previously collaborated on a highly successful subsidised home insulation scheme.

But the Government said the Solar Homes scheme was not comparable because solar power was more expensive than buying electricity off the grid. The electricity savings were based on the calculation that a typical 3kW solar-powered system would cost $10,000 and generate $1000 worth of electricity a year.

At the present borrowing rate, households would pay off their loan at $900 a year, saving $100 on bills overall.

This estimate is based on the present borrowing rate, which could fluctuate over the 15-year loan period.

Energy analyst Molly Melhuish said the Greens' estimates were accurate.

"It's not only a good policy, it's a forward-looking policy in that the whole market all over the world is changing and the very large power stations are proving uneconomic."

She added: "Solar is a better buy, as cheap or cheaper in capital cost, [with] no maintenance costs whatsoever, and the only reason that people haven't poured in to buy solar electricity is that when they generate excess electricity they've had no guarantee of a reasonable price to sell that back."

The Greens said they would not follow other countries' example by buying back electricity at higher than the market rate, but would offer a "fair price" for any excess power generated.

The party's target is 30,000 installations in the first three years, which it predicted would create 1000 jobs and make the technology cheaper by growing the market.

Harnessing the sun

*Households loaned up to $15,000 to install photovoltaic panels.
*Potential electricity savings of $100 a year at present borrowing rate.
*Debt repaid through rates over 15 years and secured against the house rather than occupants.
*Excess power can be sold back to the grid at a "fair rate''.
*Panels expected to last 25 years.
*Target of 30,000 installations in three years.

我觉得新西兰风力发电比较靠谱。

我真不知道这个有什么绿的，20年回本的东西。简直就是浪费资源。

绿党这个题案很白目！ 每年省一百，没算计一下回报率！ 哎，悲剧

对啊，风能发电的成本只有太阳能的1/4，而且太阳能板的寿命很短

绿党就是个脑残党

欧盟的太阳能发电计划都已经破产了，绿党居然还想在新西兰搞一遍

鹬鸵圣者

不要投票给花钱党。

太阳能电池板有寿命的，另外新西兰光照条件不太好吧。不过新西兰电费高，可以自己算算看。

谁家2000年装的太阳能热水器现在还能用的，更别说新西兰一到雨季半个月不见太阳。一直以为绿党就个二B，现在看很机灵，贷款出去也是政府找reserve bank 借钱，提了议案还能赚支持率，赚到了能上台跟工党联合执政，执政了接下来每年人家通过council rate还款还能提高财政收入，草拟马想个办法让每人每年工资收入提高0.2%（50，000的0.2%为100刀）就这么难？难到让你绿党没办法去想从太阳能那可能能瞎掰一个100出来？连工党头都不敢接你的茬。你连个0.2%都没办法，你妈知道吗？

15,000 loan, earn $100 / year.

Payback = 150 years :P

errrr ... plus 150 years of 2-4% interest

我上学的时候学的是建筑所以也接触过太阳能板的东西
第一，新西兰的光照时间其实不是特别的理想，尤其是南岛，当然个人觉得奥克兰还是不错的，如果光照不够，当然太阳能的可用能源也会相对减少。
第二，太阳能板暴露在房顶上，风吹日晒，又属于高精密仪器，如果损坏了几乎不可能自己维修，一般电工也修不了，而且维修费用很贵，看看它的造价一万多应该也猜到了，所以如果公司保修是最好了，否则坏了就倒霉了。
第三，如果你是大家庭，比如六七个人或更多人住，那么就会非常划算，因为它真的节省能源，这样算下来一年节省肯定不止一百元，估计四五百都有可能。但是你如果只是三口之家或更少，那真的没有安装的必要，因为平时用的能源就不会很多。
个人建议，仅供参考。
