SolarMaster is a member of the NZ Solar Industries Association. To visit the Solar Industries Associations Website click here.

The Association has developed a "Solar Water Heating and Manufacturing and Installation Code of Practice for New Zealand". The code currently approved is available here. Associated with the Code is a "Manual for Structural Assessment for Installation of Solar Water Heating in Domestic Dwellings" available here.

NZ Building Code

Installation of solar water heating systems is regulated by the need for Building Consents from local Councils. To obtain a Building Consent the system installer needs to demonstrate to the Council Building Inspectors that the system installation will meet the NZ Building Code. The Code establishes the standards for installation, in particular to safe loading on roofs and safe supply of potable water.

The SIA Code of Practice sets out for Councils, the solar industry, and the public the compliance standards and good installation practices that all installations should achieve. These are set out in Clause G12 of the Code. Compliance can be achieved by installations being done to meet the Acceptable Solution G12/AS1. A specific Acceptable Solution for SWH (G12/AS2) is in preparation and a draft is available here.
