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

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.
