In addition to the case raised in that article incentivisation of domestic solar can be as simple as adjusting the Feed in Tariffs (FIT/ price paid for customers exporting to the grid. Presently the low FITs comparitive to supply (import) price acts as a disincentive for those considering installation of solar and a reason for those with solar to export as little as possible of their generation to the grid, instead favouring self consumption including onsite storage to maximise their system's economic viability to the detriment of contribution to the grid for public benefit.

Interestingly it is worth noting that most of the attractive FIT rates are currently from small providers such as Octopus and Ecotricity rather than the big gentailers. Octopus in particular have recently been publicly critical of the NZ electricity supply structure as it prevents innovative TOU pricing models such as those Octopus is presently offering in the UK.
