For your home
Residential solar power installation
Solar for Dunedin homes, planned around your roof, your power use and your budget.
Interested in residential solar power installation?
With ever-increasing power bill charges, moving over to solar power for your home electricity can not only save you thousands, it can also help you be more self-sufficient. No more concerns about local power outages or sudden price hikes.
Residential solar power installation is now cheaper than it has ever been, so give us a call and we can discuss the options available for your property and arrange a no-obligation quote.
Every home is different. The size of the array we recommend depends on how much power you use and when you use it, the pitch and aspect of your roof, and whether you want to store what you generate or sell the excess back to the grid. We will walk you through all of it before you commit to anything.
Your options for solar at home
There are three ways most Dunedin homeowners go about it. We will tell you honestly which one suits your house, rather than selling you the biggest system we can fit on the roof.
Grid-tied
The most common setup. Your panels power the house during the day and anything you don't use is sold back to your power company.
Hybrid with battery storage
Store what you generate during the day and use it at night. Useful if you are out during daylight hours or want cover through an outage.
Staged installs
Start with an array sized to today's power use and add panels or storage later. We plan the switchboard and inverter around that from day one.
What a residential solar power installation includes
Every install we complete follows the same process, from the first assessment through to independent inspection and sign-off.
- A full solar assessment covering roof type, angle, aspect and shading
- Panels and inverters imported directly from the manufacturer
- Any switchboard and meter upgrades identified before work starts
- Installation by qualified local electricians, typically over 2 to 3 days
- Independent electrical inspection and NZ Code of Compliance certification
- Warranties that extend beyond the standard manufacturer's cover
