There is about 200 MW of rooftop solar on residential buildings across New Zealand. The rest is commercial and industrial solar installations, where the business uses some or all of the solar generation on site. Any leftover generation is fed into the distribution network for other businesses and households to use.
Disclaimer: All estimates of current electricity prices used by both AMCL and EECA are intended to be representative, and all future prices are intended to be explorative. Residential rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) generation is now one of the most accessible and cost-efective options to increase energy supply from renewable resources.
Rewiring Aotearoa's research has shown that rooftop solar is the cheapest delivered electricity available to New Zealand households, and a new in-depth study by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) has backed that up.
In the last section it was shown that time-of-use retail prices can, in some cases, improve the rate of return of solar PV with a battery compared to PV without a battery. However, the improvement is small and often occurs when there is a lower return for a system with a battery relative to one without.
In 2022, New Zealand had a record amount of distributed solar generation installed (68 MW). In the first few months of 2023, the rate of installation growth slowed somewhat.1 However, distributed solar installations are expected to increase, with Transpower forecasting 535 MW by 2030.
While it has been shown that residential rooftop solar PV alone has similar returns to utility-scale solar, residential rooftop solar PV at a suficient scale can access more benefits because it is distributed in distribution networks. To fully utilise such benefits, static time-of-use pricing may be suficient initially.
