Wow, that hits hard.
A storm hit New Zealand every eight days on average in the last year.
Insurance claims more than tripled.
This is the #climatecrisis and it will get much worse — but how much worse, is still up to us.
Going solar fast makes us more resilient, saves households money and cuts emissions as we electrify everything.

@nickofnz@mastodon.nz We solarised our house over 5 years ago. Haven't paid a cent gor power ever since and have earned over $3,000 from feeding back into the grid. The capital cost will be fully paid off in year 6. Best decision we ever made
