Every solar integration project has unique variables. Use the categorised queries below to understand the mechanics, financial returns, and compliance details.
We evaluate your roof's suitability based on its structural soundness, material (iron, slate, tile), inclination, and orientation. North-facing roofs receive the most sun, but East and West designs are also highly efficient when configured correctly. We run satellite maps to check tree shading before suggesting layouts.
New Zealand solar systems reduce electricity bill dependency depending on your daytime power use, array size, and export rates. Payback periods vary depending on local tariffs and hardware selections, after which you enjoy the offset value of generated power.
Whenever your solar array generates more electricity than your home consumes, the excess is sent back into the local grid. Your energy retailer credits you for this power at their export feed-in tariff (typically 7c to 12c per kWh in NZ).
While solar works perfectly without a battery (using grid feed-in), adding storage allows you to save unused daytime solar energy for use during expensive evening peak hours. It also provides key security during unexpected power cuts.
Yes. If you have an existing system, we install a hybrid controller/inverter or an AC-coupled battery system directly into your distribution board without needing to change your solar panels.
A standard 3-pin household plug charges an EV very slowly (1.4kW - taking 30+ hours). Our dedicated smart EV chargers deliver 7.4kW (single-phase) or 22kW (three-phase), reducing charge times to 4 to 8 hours and operating safely with built-in heat detection.
Yes. We supply and install smart chargers that can track solar generation and balance load dynamically, meaning you can set your car to charge only using green excess solar energy.
Under New Zealand building code exemptions, standard roof-mounted solar arrays do not require building consent in most regions, provided they meet structural design guidelines and weight distributions. We confirm this during our initial assessment.
Absolutely. All electrical wiring, connections, grid applications, and certifications are handled by licensed, registered NZ electricians. We provide an official Certificate of Compliance (CoC) and Electrical Safety Certificate (ESC) upon completion.
