Solar Power Compliance / Regulations in Hawkes Bay

Consents and applications for solar power are (generally) taken care of by solar installation companies the buyer has chosen. Both the Hastings District Council and Napier City Council do not require consent.

Connection approval will be required from Unison; they are the lines company that service Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, Waipukurau, Wairoa and the wider Hawkes Bay region. Unison charge an application fee of $160 and have in place what has been dubbed a solar tax, which is the equivalent of between $128 and $258 a year. The Hawkes Bay lines company are very negative toward solar power, whereas many other : New Zealand lines companies are embracing solar power and new clean technology, read more here.
