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.
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.
Grid-connected Solar Systems must comply with New Zealand electrical regulations, including the AS/NZS 3000, the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules. Solar panels must meet AS/NZS 5033 standards and must have IEC 61730 certification. The inverter of the Solar system must meet AS 4777.1 standards.
These regulations require two pairs of eyes to verify your system has been safely installed. The Electrician installing the system then produces a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) and an independent inspector who produces a Record of Inspection (RoI).
