Solar Panel Installation Services
Auckland & Hamilton

By producing energy through solar panels, you decrease the reliance on purchased electricity from the power company. Any excess energy generated by the panels can be sold back to the company or stored in batteries for times when the panels are not producing. These actions significantly lower household electricity bills. Solar panels also contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, decreasing the carbon footprint, and increasing the value and energy efficiency of your home.

New Zealand’s major cities, including Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington, receive more than 2,000 hours of sunlight each year, making sunlight a natural and clean energy resource that can be harnessed sustainably. After paying for the initial installation of a solar power system, the energy generated is entirely cost-free.

Solar systems can still be effective during winters, although their performance may be reduced compared to during the summer months. The effectiveness of a solar system during winter will depend on several factors, including amount of sunlight, angle of sunlight, and temperature. Despite these factors, solar systems can still provide a significant amount of energy during the winter months, particularly in areas with a moderate climate and clear winter skies. Additionally, advancements in solar technology, such as more efficient solar panels and battery storage, can help improve their effectiveness year-round.

No, solar panels do not work at night since they require sunlight to generate electricity. Solar panels are designed to convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity by an inverter and used to power homes and businesses. At night, when there is no sunlight, solar panels are not able to generate electricity and cannot power any devices.

The time it takes to install solar panels can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the solar system, the complexity of the installation, and the availability of materials and labor. In general, residential solar panel installations can take anywhere from one to three days, while larger commercial installations can take several weeks to complete.

Research has indicated that homes equipped with solar energy systems have a higher resale value compared to those without. It’s important to note, though, that your property value will only see an increase if you own the solar panel system as opposed to leasing it. In many regions across the country, opting for solar energy can actually boost your property’s value more than renovating your kitchen.
