Programme Review

 

An expanded programme of support for solar water heating is now getting underway.

This programme will use a combination of information, promotion and financial assistance to encourage kiwi families to switch over to solar water heating. There will also be ongoing work with the solar water heating industry to further improve the quality and cost effectiveness of systems being installed.
