NZ Solar News
- 2025 - NZ raising maximum allowed voltage on grid to be more in line with other countries, allowing for more solar export.
Nominal 230V, and deviation changes from ±6% to ±10%, thus max voltage from 224V to 253V
Until now, New Zealand has allowed a tolerance of ±6%, which means the nominal voltage can safely fluctuate between 216 and 244 V.
voltage range will increase by 10% on either side, which means the voltage can now go up to 253 V and down to 207 V.
