A solar advocate agrees National's six-month timeframe to get plug-in solar in shops is doable.  

New Zealand doesn't yet have regulations to permit the trade of plug-in systems.  

National's pledging to prioritise finishing work already under way in getting them into shops if re-elected. 

Rewiring Aotearoa CEO Mike Casey told Andrew Dickens it's a simple process, which many countries including the US, UK, and places across Europe have made the most of. 

Labour's policy is similar but says changes to enable plug-in solar would be within 12 months of a government it leads taking office.
