More reasons to go solar.

Solar panel House

Improve the saleability of your home. 

Solar panels have been shown to increase the average price of homes by as much as 4.1%, on average. With thirty-year warranties, which can often be extended by careful usage and cleaning, solar panels are the long-term solution that could help reduce your yearly power bill increase.

Happy Family

Break even long before the mortgage finishes.

On average, homeowners manage to break even seven to nine years after the installation of their solar panels, after which they pay for themselves. So, if you’re looking to move into your home for a while or want to increase the resale value by future-proofing your home, solar panels are the way to go.

Solar Panel

Hot water and heating comfort.

If you’re looking for a better way to heat your home or hot water cylinder, solar panels provide a low-cost option that reduces your power bill. So you could, in effect, consume four times as much power and only pay the same as you do now, depending on your solar panel setup.

How does your solar system work?

Unsure what you actually get with a solar system? Turn the power of the sun into a high-converting storage battery to run your home throughout the day.

Power Plant Icon
The grid

The common assumption with solar power is that you’ll go completely off the grid. With a solar panel system, your house remains part of the grid, but you can generate more electricity than you need, getting credits on your power bill!

Solar Panels Icon
Solar panels

Solar panels are what capture the sunlight as DC (Direct Current) energy. Our team will consult with you on the best solar panel solution depending on the size of your home, power usage and available roof space.

Inventers Icon
Inverters

The inverter is what changes DC energy into AC (Alternative Current) electricity, suitable for your home. 

Wirings Icon
Switchboard

Your switchboard directs the electrical energy generated from your solar panel to the various circuits in your home. With fully qualified electricians on our team, we also provide switchboard installation and repair services.

Solar Meter Icon
Meter

Connecting with your meter, we can help you figure out how much you should be saving and track any energy being redirected back to the grid.

App Icon

Use our app to track energy usage and optimise your daily and seasonal power consumption.

Batteries Icon
Batteries

Whilst optional, batteries can help you store excess energy produced during the day to use at night or during a power outage if you’re cut off completely from the grid.

Fast, efficient solar delivery.

  • With customised solar systems, the entire process from ordering to final installation can be completed in 6-8 weeks, with 3-4 days for installation.

Beat the energy hike.

  • Power costs in New Zealand increase around 7% per year, meaning the average power bill will increase from $250 to $515 in the next 15 years! Solar allows you to generate free power for your home forever. Lock in a fixed price for your electricity for the next quarter century and avoid paying more each year for power.

Invest in a sensible solution for tomorrow.

With improved battery life and cheaper installation costs, solar panels are increasingly becoming the energy-efficient solution for every home.
