FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Read the information below to find out answers to our most commonly asked questions.

Canterbury’s sunny climate makes it suitable for solar power. However, you’ll need to consider your energy needs and roof orientation to determine if solar is suitable for your property. We recommend consulting with our experts in the region for a professional opinion.

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.

Yes, solar panels can be a worthwhile investment due to ongoing energy savings that offset initial installation costs. Beyond energy savings, benefits include low maintenance, increased efficiency, and the opportunity to contribute to a greener environment in Canterbury.

We have a dedicated install team and warehouse in Christchurch who get the best industry training. The team will evaluate your site and establish a solar solution tailored to your property, prioritising your safety throughout the process.

HAPPY SOLAR CUSTOMERS

Just fired up the mySigen app. Generated 45kw today. Great team. Quote was easy to understand. Installation was all good. A couple of problems to solve. Was sorted real quick. Next step is getting the new meter to be able to provide some energy back to the grid. My son was just telling how good that ability is. The roofs are there , the lands there. He's going to be in charge of monitoring. Thanks so much Lightforce Solar.

Just saw our May power bill. 2 dollars credit. Last year it was approximately 350 dollars.
We had a very detailed and thorough assessment done by Lightforce, followed by a smooth installation and all the site specific issues were dealt with very quickly. Happy customer!
5 Stars Not Enough
I'm a researcher and take time to make a decision and this one again was the right decision. Polite, Considerate, Professional and Expertise are some of the words that come to mind. Lightforce from start to finish have provided the support and understanding in transition from a Main Grid to a Solar Panels and Batteries convert, we are so happy with our choice, equally the Solar and the Company. Its a reasonably important financial decision to invest in solar but it has now come to a time where it absolutely stacks up and provides us the control over our financial direction as we get closer to Winstons Gold Pass, Grey Hair and a Reduction in Income. Bring on the sunny days and we can now spend our excess saving on things we really want to spend them on now, not to a third party that have complete control over your power budget. Talk to Sally, Dylan, Blue and their team they know what there are doing.
The installation was great and everything happened as expected. Our system is up and running now. About the only negative thing is a lack of explanation of the app for the solar and how to use it. It's very much a find out myself experience which wouldn't be an issue for someone younger, but I am not so digitaly aware or experienced.
I certainly recommend Lightforce for any solar installation.
I felt fully informed the whole way through. I had a regular contact person and didn’t have to do anything! Great job.
This has been a fantastic experience from start to completion. There was no hard sell. I just got to meet with someone to answer my questions and show the numbers. The information was honest, conservative and clear with great analytical tools. This is a good size national business with their own staff in my area. The install team were really hard working and attentive. System is performing exactly as expected (I'm not a solar-nut and had specific goals for the system), and I'm confident about any future support, upgrades or interaction with the Lightforce Solar team.
Cheers, from Timaru Russell Square,
We had a smooth transition into the solar world, thanks to the team, extra credit needs to go to Blue & crew who installed the x15 panels & controller. They were very knowledgeable and worked to a high standard of workmanships. If we had more roof space, we would be installing more!
Fantastic experience start to finish. Andy and Dylan were amazing in sales and recommended an Enphase system because of shading issues. System works fantastically and I can see all the live data!

Mike and the install team were amazing to deal with, very respectful and worked hard. After the install Blue came out and did a drone fly over to take some photos for us to see, really nice touch and let's you see the pride they take in their work.

Would recommend again
Great team of people to deal with. Very happy cheers lightforce
