Labour promises subsidies, new loan schemes for installing solar

great so my taxes are going to subsidise some rich prick's solar panels while I'm stuck renting. classic.

Eva Anderson2026-07-07T23:37:31.000Z

yeah but there are good ones too. plus loans mean you can get it fixed if something goes wrong. better than nothing.

Eva Anderson2026-07-07T23:14:31.000Z

actually this is huge. if we can get solar on more roofs it helps lower power prices for everyone. stop being so negative 🙄

oh cool so we're all gonna pay for that too? no thanks

chris hipkins trying to buy votes again…

facts. every election they trot out some shiny announcement that never fixes the root issue.

our neighbour got solar last year, his power bill went down to like $50. honestly if they help with the upfront cost it's a win for everyone.

Hana Stewart2026-07-08T00:54:31.000Z

lol I'll believe it when I see it. they'll find a way to stuff it up

my mate works for a solar company and says half the installations are dodgy as. wonder if these subsidies will just line their pockets.

your mate's one anecdote doesn't mean the whole scheme is bad. give it a chance.
