This report by Beacon Pathway evaluates the relative successes of solar water heating installations in three pilot renovation projects in New Zealand. Each renovation project used a different SWH system, which allows Beacon Pathway to make conclusions about best...
This report was commissioned by New Zealand’s Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Dr Jan Wright, to examine the potential benefits of solar water heating (SWH)in New Zealand and assess the merits of government intervention at both local and central level....
This is a presentation of the research done by the Environmental Energy Solutions Ltd. for the development and testing of their prototype solar heat system. The particularities consisted in the large, low cost solar collector integrated into the roof or wall cladding system and its integrated...
Owing to the significant potential that the country is offering, New Zealand’s Solar Industry association tries to promote the use of solar technologies in different sectors. The presentation comprises an outline of the available solar technologies – passive, photovoltaic and solar thermal –...
This case study is the result of a partnership between New Zealand’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), the country’s dairy farmers and technical experts, showing the benefits of solar water heating and waste heat recovery systems used to reduce energy costs.
Because of the climatic conditions of New Zealand and the positive impact of solar water heating technologies the country’s authorities encourage the use of this type of installations. This resulted in the issuing of a free guide by the country’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (...
