What would National's solar scheme offer that we can't currently get?

Luca Reid2026-06-25T02:46:31.000Z

oh great another scheme that sounds good but probably means we pay more in the long run. just like every other "helpful" govt thing 😑

Kai Thompson2026-06-25T03:40:31.000Z

exactly. i've seen quotes double what they should be. need proper regulation not just fancy loan names

Kai Thompson2026-06-25T02:56:31.000Z

worked in solar installs for years. the real problem is the upfront cost, not the bloody loan type. banks already offer green loans, this is just a rebrand.

ffs it's not a handout it's a loan 😂 you clearly dont understand how money works

Mia Carter2026-06-25T03:23:31.000Z

if it means more panels on roofs then i'm for it. anything that cuts power bills imo

Cameron Diaz2026-06-25T03:36:31.000Z

so we're subsidising rich homeowners to put panels on their mansions while renters get nothing. classic national.

Casey Adams2026-06-25T03:52:31.000Z

what a load of nonsense. just another handout to the mates in the solar industry

Hayden Kelly2026-06-25T04:07:31.000Z

lol the headline literally answers itself. "what would it offer that we cant currently get?"... absolutely nothing. vote winning fluff

Casey Adams2026-06-25T04:53:31.000Z

get stuffed mate. not everyone can drop 20k on panels. how bout some help for people who actually need it

Reese Morgan2026-06-25T04:57:31.000Z

truth. we need both - easier loans AND more subsidies. but this is a start

Reese Morgan2026-06-25T04:20:31.000Z

as someone in the industry, the green loans are fine but take ages to process. if national can streamline it and actually make it easier, i dont see the issue

Jamie Fox2026-06-25T04:45:31.000Z

solar is great but my neighbour got quoted $18k for a system. even with a loan that's insane. need better subsidies not just loans

Cameron Diaz2026-06-25T05:29:31.000Z

haha good point. classic herald using random stock pics

NZ Herald2026-06-25T05:10:31.000Z

did anyone else notice the photo credit says "dmitrymo"? what kind of name is that. probably some stock photo from overseas not even nz panels
