BENEFITS OF SOLAR POWER

EMBRACING A
LIGHTER, BRIGHTER FUTURE

Solar energy is revolutionising the way Kiwis power their lives, offering a cleaner, greener, and more cost-effective alternative to traditional electricity sources. With Solar, you can gain energy independence, reduce costs, and even turn your roof into a money-making asset by generating more energy than you use.

  • Save on Energy Costs

    Solar panels allow you to harness free energy from the sun, significantly reducing your power bills. Over time, the savings can offset installation costs, making solar a smart long-term investment.

  • Earn Money with Solar

    When your solar panels generate more energy that you consume, you can sell the excess back to the grid, turning your roof into a money-making resource and boosting your financial returns.

  • Energy Independence and Sustainability

    Break free from traditional energy providers and rising power costs while lowering your carbon footprint. Solar power and battery storage ensure you always have reliable, clean energy when you need it most.

ALL ABOUT ROOFTOP SOLAR

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When the sun shines, PV (photovoltaic) cells in the solar panels convert sunlight into DC (direct current) electricity.

This energy is converted into AC (alternating current) power, by an inverter (included in your purchase), for use in your home.

Your home appliances (fridge, lights, TV, etc.) use this solar power before drawing any additional power needed from the electricity grid.

Excess energy created can be stored in a battery to be used when the sun goes down or exported back to the electricity grid.

That’s it.

The cost of a solar system varies depending on the size of the system, the type of solar panels, the inverter, and the battery. In New Zealand, the average cost of a solar system for a home is around $10,000 without a battery and $20,000 with a battery.

When your solar system produces excess energy to what you are consuming on-site, it will charge your home battery. If the battery is full of charge, the excess will go back to the grid.

When you have energy consumption on-site that is more than what your solar system is producing, the battery will discharge.

A smart meter is essential for accurately measuring the energy your solar system generates and how much you send back to the grid. It enables real-time monitoring of your power usage, helping you maximise savings and efficiency.

With a smart meter, your electricity retailer can track both the energy you consume and the solar power you export, ensuring you receive the correct credits on your bill. It’s a key part of optimising your solar investment and making the most of your renewable energy.

The installation time for a solar system depends on the size of the system and the complexity of the installation. In general, it takes about 2 days to install a solar system for a home.

A solar green loan is a bank loan that is specifically designed to fund the purchase and installation of solar panels. Solar green loans typically have lower interest rates and more flexible repayment terms than traditional loans, making them an attractive option for homeowners who want to go solar.

Solar systems require very little maintenance. The only regular maintenance that is required is to clean the solar panels once a year. You may also need to replace the inverter every 10-15 years. If you choose Lightforce Solar you’ll be looked after by our customer care team and solar technicians for the entire life of your system.

Solar has been one of those decision that I deliberately took a long time to make the decision on, and I was never going to just do a less than proper full job of any installation.
So when I meet the Lightforce Tauranga team late last year, the meeting of minds was very quick and decisive. The Tauranga team completed the install last week, and this week it was certified and turned on. The team were very quick to respond with a good solution and knew just what I was looking for. The whole process have been just fabulous...what a great team. The skill, the connecting and making it happen was faultless. If you want a team that knows it stuff, and uses quality product, then Lightforce are the team to talk to.
5kW array installed on garage roof. Great communication and at a great price. Installation only took 1 day. 100% would recoomend.
They delivered what they said they would with no problems
I did quite extensive comparisons and lightforce was the best offering good quality for reasonable cost
We've just had a 20 panel system installed along with an 8kw battery and inverter. All I can say is the whole process from working through the quote right through to the final install and commission was amazing. Everyone involved were very knowledgeable and couldn't have been more helpful. The end result is we have a very tidy install which appears to be producing very close to the estimated amounts so we couldn't be happier. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone considering solar.
Thanks guys....... you're awesome 👍
Excellent service and our Sonnen battery is fantastic.
