Is installing solar panels worth it in Waikato?

Like other parts of New Zealand, Waikato generally experiences a moderate climate with a good amount of sunlight, especially during the summer months. Installing solar panels can be a worthwhile investment as they can save electricity costs and increase your property value. However, we recommend consulting with our regional solar experts to assess your suitability.

How many solar panels do I need to power my house in Waikato?

For some properties in Waikato, the estimated number of solar panels can range between 9 to 20. However, important factors, such as the size of your property, will determine the exact number of solar panels you need.

Are solar panels effective during winter?

Solar panels are well known for their year-round effectiveness. So, yes, solar panels still work and are effective during winter. They absorb energy from the sun’s light rather than the sun’s heat. Even in the autumn and winter months, when there is little wind, only reduced sunlight hours will impact the solar panels’ performance.

Will solar power work during a blackout in Waikato?

If your solar system is grid-tied in a Waikato solar plant, you may not be able to use that energy during a blackout. However, you can use solar batteries as a backup system to provide power.
