How solar works
Solar panels
Solar panels, like AIKO, catch sunlight and send it to the inverter. AIKO solar panels are a good option for your home. AIKO is a well-known brand with high-efficiency panels designed to make the most of the sun on your roof.
Inverter
The inverter is the box that turns the power from your solar panels (DC) into the kind of power your home uses (AC). Choosing a quality inverter like Fronius can help your system run well over time, and gives you monitoring so you can keep an eye on performance.
Battery
A battery can help cut your power bill by storing the power your system makes during the day, so you can use it at night when grid power is often more expensive. Depending on your setup, it can also keep key things running in an outage, like charging your phone, boiling the kettle, and keeping the fridge cold.
Solar monitoring
Solar monitoring lets you see your system's live generation and power use. That can help you make small changes to how and when you use power, which may help you get more from your system and draw less from the grid.

Frequently asked questions
All your solar questions answered
Absolutely! New Zealand has abundant sunshine and generates between 1,700 and 2,100 sunshine hours annually. Some areas, like Nelson and Gisborne, receive as much as 2,400. Solar Panels don’t require sunshine; they require daylight, so Solar Panels work year-round, even in the lower South Island.
The average energy consumption is essential in determining the number of Solar Panels you need. A retired couple will have a different power consumption than a young family, plus pools, spas, and electric cars can also impact energy requirements.
The amount of energy Solar Panels can generate depends on sun hours and is therefore affected by your location.
Your roof size is crucial because it determines the number of Panels that can fit on your roof, how much energy will be generated, and the cost.
