Labour on Climate

Help homes get solar power without upfront costs

Labour wants to make it easier for people to get solar panels on their homes without paying a large amount upfront. Their SolarSaver programme is described as fully funded and open to homeowners, renters, and communities. Cheaper public transport through a $20 weekly fare cap is also mentioned, which would reduce how much fuel people burn getting around.

What they say they'll do

  • SolarSaver programme to help homeowners, renters, and communities get solar panels with no upfront cost
  • Cap weekly public transport fares at $20 for buses and trains from 1 July 2027

Homeowners
SolarSaver would let homeowners access solar panels without paying the full cost upfront.
Renters

Public transport users

In their own words

“Labour's SolarSaver is a fully-funded program to help homeowners, renters and communities get solar without the upfront cost.”
“$20 a week is the most you'll pay to get around by bus or train under Labour. In place by 1 July 2027.”
