Guidelines

Solar water collectors for heating swimming pools are increasingly being used in New Zealand. Typically these collectors are unglazed rubber or plastic mats / panels that work best at low temperature differentials between the ambient air temperature and the pool water temperature. Computer simulation of pools in Auckland and Dunedin has shown that these solar collectors are effective at raising the temperature of pool water, particularly where a pool cover is also used.

This document, the Fund Definition Document, sets out the details of the Fund including scope, principles, project eligibility, assessment criteria and definitions. This document will help to inform decision making for Funding Round Three (2009/10).

This document sets out the principles, rules and requirements for EECA's solar water heating Grants for Public Buildings scheme

EECA has produced this draft guidance document for local government on domestic-scale distributed generation. The document covers photovoltaic (solar electric panels), micro and small-scale wind turbines, and micro and small-scale hydro turbines. The document is intended to provide information on these technologies, the extent and likelihood of any adverse effects associated with the technologies, and ways that these effects can be mitigated. The document has been released as draft and feedback is welcomed.
