Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a solar system cost in NZ?

A typical residential system (6–15 panels) ranges from $8,000–$16,000 installed. Larger systems, battery add-ons, and commercial installs vary; we’ll give you an accurate fixed-price quote after your free consultation.

How long does the installation take?

Most residential installations are completed in one day. Larger commercial systems may take 2–5 days. We’ll confirm the exact timeframe in your design proposal.

Do I need a battery?

Not necessarily, most customers start without one and add storage later. A battery makes most sense if you want grid independence, backup power, or if you’re primarily home in the evenings when solar isn’t generating.

What is the typical payback period?

Most residential systems pay for themselves in 6–9 years. After that, the electricity you generate is essentially free for the remaining years of the panels’ life. We’ll show you a detailed savings estimate in your quote.
