Auckland's trusted solar installer for homes. From free assessment to full installation, Apollo Energy delivers custom solar systems designed for New Zealand conditions — saving you thousands every year.
New Zealand electricity prices have risen over 30% in the past five years. Solar lets you take control of your energy costs and lock in savings from day one.
Most homeowners see a 50–80% reduction in electricity costs. A typical 6.6kW system can save you $2,000–$3,500 per year, paying for itself within 4–6 years.
With battery storage, you can power your home through peak hours and outages. Stop relying on the grid and rising energy prices — generate your own clean electricity.
Homes with solar sell for 3–4% more on average. Buyers are actively seeking energy-efficient properties — solar is one of the best home improvements you can make.
A standard residential system offsets approximately 3–4 tonnes of CO₂ per year. That's the equivalent of planting 150 trees — clean energy for your family and the planet.
