HOW CAN YOU FINANCE YOUR SOLAR?

Switching to solar power not only reduces your reliance on the grid but also saves you money on rising energy costs. While the upfront investment used to be a hurdle for many, now you can easily fund your solar system with a green home loan from New Zeland’s top banks or through interest-free options like Qcard. With low or no interest rates, going solar is more affordable than ever.

Now is the time to invest in solar energy for your home and business. Contact our team for expert guidance and start saving today!

WHY FINANCE A SOLAR SYSTEM?

No upfront payments

Start saving on energy bills right away without the upfront cost.

Reduced reliance on the grid

Solar Systems generate clean, renewable energy, which means you rely less on traditional utility power. With energy costs rising every year, you will make substantial savings through reduced energy payments.

Increased home valuation

Many home buyers are looking for energy-efficient features. A productive solar system makes your property more attractive to potential buyers.

A smart investment

Solar Panels are low maintenance and have a long lifespan. As a result, your return on investment improves over time.

GREEN LOANS

Finance your Solar for $0 upfront with green loans

Take the hassle out of financing your solar system with green home loans. With many banks offering competitive rates, you can enjoy the benefits of solar power without the upfront investment. Our team of experts is here to guide you through the process and help you make the best decision for your home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some of the most common questions we get asked. If you have any specific questions, get in touch.

What is a green home loan?

A Green Home Loan is a special financing option offered by banks to help Kiwis make energy-efficient and eco-friendly upgrades to their homes. These loans often provide low or zero-interest top-ups on existing mortgages, making it more affordable to invest in solar power, battery storage, and other sustainable improvements. It’s an easy way to reduce energy costs while supporting a greener future.

Currently, there are no government subsidies for solar installations in New Zealand. However, many banks offer Green Home Loans, which provide zero to low-interest financing for energy-efficient home upgrades, including solar. These loans make it easier and more affordable for Kiwis to switch to solar with no upfront costs, helping more households enjoy the benefits of clean, cost-saving energy.

Yes, a solar power system can increase the value of your home. Homes with solar are often more attractive to buyers as they offer lower energy costs, energy independence, and a sustainable power source. Studies show that properties with solar tend to sell faster and at a premium compared to those without. Research from Homes.co.nz shows that homes with solar sell for an average of 4.4% more.  Investing in solar is not only a smart way to reduce power bills but also a valuable long-term asset for your home.

No, a battery is not required to install a solar system, but it can enhance the benefits. Without a battery, your system will power your home during the day, and any excess energy will be sent back to the grid. Adding a battery allows you to store surplus energy for use at night or during power outages, increasing energy independence and maximising savings. Whether a battery is the right choice depends on your energy needs—our team can help you decide the best setup for your home.

I’ve had a fantastic experience with Lightforce Solar from start to finish. At the outset of the project, I contacted three different solar companies, and Lightforce was the only one who responded, which immediately set them apart. What really stood out was their communication – they genuinely listened to what I needed and approached everything in a thoughtful and caring way. At every stage of the process, I felt heard and well supported, which made a big difference. The installation team were equally impressive. They were polite, respectful of the space, and kept everything clean and tidy while they worked. It made the whole experience feel seamless and stress free. The system itself has been excellent and is now covering 100% of my power needs, which is exactly what I was hoping for. The app that comes with the system and battery has been incredibly helpful as well. It’s given me clear insight into my energy usage and has helped me understand and reduce my power consumption quite dramatically. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Lightforce Solar to anyone considering making the switch.

We’ve had a great experience with Lightforce Solar. They really helped us by tailoring a solution that matched our lifestyle, and the comms was great throughout. Really good price and choice of battery, panels etc. Really impressed with the personal touch - Ryan checked in to make sure we knew how to work everything (and gave us some great tips) and was a pleasure to deal with. Enjoying the new found freedom of being off the grid!!! Would happily recommend LS to anyone looking at solar!

We couldn’t fault Lightforce, perfect setup, great aftercare service and because we went by Jonathan’s recommendation we have not paid a power bill since. In fact we are in credit. Love your work 😊
We reached a point where we needed to up our eco credentials as a B&B/Lodge. We've been pushing the eco-luxury angle, but we're relatively remote and not many players in the market would engage. Lightforce Solar did! From the first conversation there was great comms on how the process would work. There was no pressure at any point. The quote was well within tolerance of other prices we saw, for what we consider superior technology. We made changes to the quote at the point of choosing to move forward and there was a no hassles approach. It was simple and seamless. Given our remoteness there was risk on both sides, but by using online video tech it was possible for me to walk around the property describing what I wanted in terms of installation. I'd like to think I'm pretty savvy about the construction and potential of the house. We waited just very slightly longer than the proposed time, but, the dates actually worked to our advantage (end of season) and made it easy to get involved and support the team. The installation team were first class, they listened, and educated. We got, what we think is, the perfect build. It's early days and late autumn as I type. It's been live for less than one week and it's rained pretty much every day. But we've seen some real potential, with around 70% production compared to capacity (at times). The batteries are taking the load off our grid supply and allowing us to charge over night. Basically, it's been a first class experience from first call through to installation. I highly recommend this company, and we will be adding to our 'kit' and we'll be back in touch with them when we do.

Can't say enough good things about Lightforce Solar. Chose Lightforce over others as they listened to me and helped design a system perfect for me and my situation ... definitely not an off the shelf system that everyone gets. Most notable was the attention to details. Everything is very tidy which I appreciate. Total price very fair and in line with what I expected. Recommended to a friend who now has a solar system also thanks to Lightforce. His first comment to me after installation was how neat and tidy the installation was. As a builder he notices things like this. And remember, your installer will be your go to in case of a warranty claim so you want to feel comfortable with them. With Lightforce I do. If you want a great system that works without issue immediately, make sure you get a Lightforce quote. Thanks Lightforce.

Light Force Nelson provided the best quote(not the cheapest not the dearest ) that fitted my needs. The team were fantastic from first contact to the finished install. Great equipment through sigenergy and design of the install was brilliant and compact. The addition of a EV charger with the ability to charge from solar just puts a bigger smile on my face. The app is easy to use and very informative. Highly recommend you see these guys for your solar needs.

Great experience with Lightforce Solar. From the initial contact and consultation, Jevan took the time to walk through the different options and assess the house to recommend what would work best. The installation team also did a great job working around some terrible weather while keeping everything moving smoothly. Highly professional and easy to deal with from start to finish.

Well the panels have been on the roof for nearly a year and they haven’t blown off but they have significantly cut my electricity bills. Seriously thinking of adding a battery. Perhaps Lightforce might like to make an offer?

We did a LOT of research on solar and solar companies before choosing Lightforce and so glad we did. The initial meeting with Steve was really positive, he gave us even more insight and did not try to pressurise us in anyway. The guys who came to fit the system over 2.5 days were professional, courteous, and hardworking - they were in fact some of the best tradies we've come across. It's not a cliche when people say they wish they'd done it sooner - I wish we'd done it sooner! Just do it!

Well, today was the final day of our install and what a pleasure working with the team. From the beginning, Sachin really knew his stuff. I’d done quite a bit of research about what I was after so I wasn’t jumping in blind, but Sachin was able to explain any of the knowledge gaps and was also able to explain why he was recommending something. The office team were quick to respond and, as promised, organised me an earlier install date as one came available. The two days of the install were smooth as butter. The team were professional and lightening fast. Every time I looked up it seemed like they’d accomplished major. There was only about an hour of downtime which was great as I kept working from home. Overall I would recommend them to all, thanks for making everything easy for us and for a VERY clean install.
