Solar Grid Connect

With a Grid Connected Solar Power System you are free to install the system that best suits your needs. Grid connected Solar Power Systems require no changes to your home and place no limitations on your lifestyle or electricity use. They simply integrate directly with your home and generate electricity during the day for use directly inside or if unused for export to the grid for a modest financial return.

With our teams extensive experience, we can offer the following Solar Grid Services:

• Custom Design
• Installation
• Inspection
• Project management
• Supply packages and components

Custom Design:

You will sit down with a qualified tradesperson, not a salesperson, who will accumulate all the relevant information to custom design a Solar Grid Connect System to suit your home or business. We design to reduce or remove from your power account OR gain a return from your Solar Grid Connected System.

We will visit your building to ascertain the best fit for the solar panel on your roof that fits harmoniously with the location of the site.

Size is usually decided by a number of factors, those being – the practical physical size of the north or west facing roof we are attaching to, the budget for the installation and the power usage we are providing generation for.

Installation:

All installations are carried out by qualified registered electricians with more than 30 years experience. We have the right equipment; training and experience to install Solar Grid Connect Systems. All our equipment meets or exceeds New Zealand standards.

Exporting and Importing Power:

If your system is generating more electricity than your home is using the excess is automatically exported to the grid and counted on your electricity meter.  If your home requires more electricity than the solar power system is generating it is automatically imported from the grid and also counted on your meter.  This operation is seamless and entirely handled by the solar power system.

Expected Yields:

The yields can vary depending on location, the size of the system and sun hours.

Sizing of System:

The most common criteria people use to decide on the size of their solar power system are;

• Their budget
• The available roof space for the system
• Their annual electricity consumption and goal to reduce or eliminate their electricity bill.
