Solar reduces pollution icon

Reduce pollution

The emission of toxic gases into the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, contributes to air pollution and the intensify greenhouse effect. So, by going Solar, you restrain greenhouse gas emissions.

Reduce your carbon footprint

A typical residential Solar System will eliminate three to four tons of carbon emissions each year— the equivalent of planting over 100 trees annually.

Preserve water

Although hydropower is a renewable energy option, it requires a lot of water and damage to natural habitats to produce electricity. Take advantage of the unused space on your roof.

Reduce dependence
on fossil fuels

Solar Energy is infinite and free, unlike fossil fuels. Solar energy means lower energy prices and a more stable energy future.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

All your solar questions answered

Will solar work in New Zealand?

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.

How many solar panels do I need?

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.
