The only reason we were able to was relocating from Welly to Chch and downsizing our house. It cost us $26k, but we've realistically saved $5k that first year alone.

Giving govt subsidies to increase solar capacity is a no brainer... unless, of course, the govt of the day answers to donors, not NZ

I totally agree with you. I have to say that I think putting solar on my roof was probably the best investment I've ever made.
