Cut your power bills by up to 80% with solar

A typical residential solar system in NZ costs between $8,000 and $18,000 depending on the size. A standard 6.6kW system for an average home is around $10,000 to $14,000 fully installed. See our solar panel prices by system size, or ask us for a free quote with exact pricing for your property.

Most homeowners achieve payback within 4–6 years. After that, your electricity is essentially free for the remaining 20+ year life of the panels. With rising power prices, the ROI gets better every year.

Yes. Solar panels generate power from daylight, not direct sunlight. Even on overcast days, your panels will produce energy — typically 25–40% of their rated capacity. New Zealand's UV levels are high enough for solar to work efficiently year-round.

System size depends on your electricity usage, roof space and budget. A typical NZ home uses 7,000 to 9,000 kWh per year, which a 5kW to 8kW system can largely offset. A 5kW solar system uses about 12 panels and produces around 6,500 kWh a year, which suits smaller households and costs less than a 6.6kW system. A 6.6kW solar system is the most common size for an average NZ home, with about 15 panels, around 8,600 kWh a year and a typical price of $10,000 to $14,000 fully installed.
