Solar panel prices have sharply decreased in the last decade, making it more affordable than ever. There’s never been a more affordable time to invest in a clean and renewable energy source with solar panels.
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.
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.
