Sustainable Energy. Simply Better

How do Solar Panels Work?

Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity. Sunlight hits the solar panels – which are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells. The PV cells generate direct current (DC) electricity from the sunlight. An inverter converts DC to AC (alternating current), which is what your home uses. The electricity powers your home, and any extra can go back to the grid (sometimes earning you credits).

No moving parts, no noise, no drama — just clean, renewable energy from the Sun!

Environmental Impacts of Solar : Shine brighter, Clean Energy and Pure Power

Solar Power: Good for Your Wallet, Great for the Planet

Going solar isn’t just smart — it’s earth-huggingly awesome. Here’s how your panels help save the planet (while you chill in the AC): No Emissions, No Guilt Trips Solar doesn’t puff out pollution like fossil fuels do. It’s the clean, quiet overachiever of the energy world. Cuts Carbon, Not Trees less need for dirty energy means fewer forests crying into their roots. Go solar, save a tree. Maybe even name it. Sunshine Is Unlimited — Unlike Your Patience for Rising Bills Fossil fuels run out. The sun? It’s not quitting anytime soon. (Roughly 5 billion years of free power left.) Feel-Good Energy You’ll sleep better knowing your lights are on thanks to sunshine, not smoke stacks.

ARE SOLAR PANELS WORTH IT IN NZ?

Solar Panels worth it or not

When you think of New Zealand, you probably picture lush landscapes, clean air, and a country that thrives on sustainability. So it’s no surprise that more and more Kiwis are asking the big question: Are solar panels really worth it in New Zealand? Spoiler alert— find out in our link.

Solar vs. Traditional Power: THE 2025 Showdown

Solar vs grid power

With power bills climbing and the planet crying out for change, more Kiwis are asking:

“Is it time to ditch the grid and go solar?”

2025 could be the turning point—so let’s break it down. From upfront costs to long-term savings, we’re cutting through the noise to show you what really puts money back in your pocket.

Solar Battery backups: The Ultimate Power Move for Energy Security and Savings

Solar battery storage

In an age of rising energy costs and grid instability, solar energy alone isn’t enough—you need control, resilience, and backup. That’s where solar battery backup systems come in.

Whether you’re a homeowner, business, or off-grid operator, adding battery storage to your solar system transforms your setup from energy-efficient to energy-independent.

If you're ready to stop relying on the grid and start owning your power, this is the upgrade you've been waiting for.

What if you could turn your roof into money saving asset?

Savings with Solar power

That’s right, your solar panels keep working for you even when you’re not using the power and get paid for it. We will guide you and handle you the solar power remote so you could take command and control your energy like never before

Signs you need to Upgrade your home’s wiring

Old outdated wiring / VIR cables
Poor wiring not electrically safe

Visible Old Wiring: Hey there! If you come across wiring like the ones in the images above, which are usually cloth-insulated and called VIR cables, you might find them in some homes built in the 1980s or 90s. While they were common back then, they’re now considered outdated and could pose some safety risks.

Frequent blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers: This suggests that your electrical system overloaded or has a fault. While occasionally tripping can be normal, repeated issues indicate a problem your current wiring might not handle.

Sun’s Free but Your Power won’t be

Saving tips with Solar

Electricity costs have risen 30% in the last five years and are expected to increase by up to $25 during winter. Investing in solar now is a smart move to mitigate rising electricity costs.

The Future of Old Solar Panels: Reuse and Recycling

Go green and eco friendly Solar

You might be wondering how long solar panels last? and what happens after 30 years of use. Well, here’s the exciting part: Solar panels don’t just stop working overnight after 30 years. They still produce electricity just at a lower efficiency and slowly degrade over time, but they still have an impressive recycling efficiency of 96% and can be used again.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Solar Panels Cost?

In New Zealand, the price of putting solar panels on your house or business can vary from $7,000 to $15,000 for a typical residential system. For commercial buildings, it starts at $15,000 and can go up to $150,000, depending on how big the system is and how much energy you need. 

What happens to extra electricity from Solar Panels?

It can be either stored in batteries, sold back to the grid through net metering or used to power appliances.

Do Solar Panels work during rainy, cloudy days or during time time?

Yes, Solar Panels absolutely still work when it's rainy or cloudy but their efficiency is reduced. You can store excess energy generated during the day in batteries to used later at night

How many Solar Panels do i need at my property?

The number of solar panels you need depends on how much energy you use. A typical New Zealand home needs between 10 to 23 panels, while a medium-sized commercial building might need 30-100 panels to meet its electricity needs. This depends on things like the size of your roof, how much sun it gets, and how efficient the panels are. 

Can you connect EV charger on Solar?

Sure thing! You can connect an EV charger to solar panels. A regular EV wall plug can be plugged into a solar power system, so you can charge your EV when the sun is shining. But if you want to get the most out of solar power for charging your EV, it’s best to use smart EV chargers. They can figure out when there’s extra solar energy and use it to charge your EV.

Can you store electricity from Solar panels?

Absolutely! You can store solar energy in New Zealand using battery storage systems. These systems let you capture and save extra solar power you make during the day for later use. It’s especially useful when the sun isn’t shining or during peak hours. This way, you can reduce your reliance on the grid and save on electricity bills.  

What maintenance is required for Solar Panels?

Solar panels are pretty low-maintenance. Just give them a regular cleaning to remove any dirt, and it’s a good idea to take a quick look at them a few times a year to make sure everything’s in order.
