NZ set to follow in UK, Europe's footsteps as parties promise to legalise plug-in solar panels
A solar advocate agrees National's six-month timeframe to get plug-in solar in shops is doable.
New Zealand doesn't yet have regulations to permit the trade of plug-in systems.
National's pledging to prioritise finishing work already under way in getting them into shops if re-elected.
Rewiring Aotearoa CEO Mike Casey told Andrew Dickens it's a simple process, which many countries including the US, UK, and places across Europe have made the most of.
Labour's policy is similar but says changes to enable plug-in solar would be within 12 months of a government it leads taking office.
