    Kiwis could save more than a thousand dollars on solar panel installation - under changes to requirements


    From tomorrow, rooftop solar panels on commercial and residential buildings will no longer need building consents.

    The Government announced the changes in June.

    It estimates Kiwis will save about 12-hundred dollars per consent.
