Residential solar
designed around your home

Every household uses electricity differently. A system that suits a family home with two people working from home is not the system that suits a house that's empty until 6pm. We start with how you actually use power, then design from there.

What's involved

What you get

No two properties are the same, so this is the shape of the work rather than a fixed package. The detail gets set once we've seen your place.

Sizing is indicative only. Your actual system depends on your usage, roof space, shading and budget, which is exactly what the consultation is for.

A proper usage reviewWe look at your power bills and daily routine: when you run the dryer, whether anyone's home during the day, what you're planning next.
Roof and shading assessmentOrientation, pitch, roof type, available space and anything that casts shade. All of it changes what the system will actually produce.
Equipment we stand behindPanels and inverters chosen for long-term performance and local support, not because they're the cheapest thing on the pallet.
Battery-ready designEven if storage isn't in the budget today, we design so you can add it later without replacing what you've already paid for.
Licensed installationRegistered electricians and accredited installers. Tidy work, safe work, and the job left the way we'd want ours left.
Paperwork handledGrid connection application, compliance documentation and export approval with your network provider, we take care of it.
Who it suits

Is this right for you?

Homes with daytime usage

If someone's home during the day, or you run a heat pump, pool pump or hot water cylinder, solar tends to stack up quickly.

Households planning an EV

An electric vehicle changes your power usage significantly. Better to design for it now than retrofit around it later.

Anyone facing rising bills

If your power bill keeps creeping up, solar is one of the few ways to lock in part of your energy cost for the next 25 years.

Product independent

We're not tied to
one manufacturer

We recommend equipment based on your property, your budget and what you're trying to achieve, not because of a supply agreement. Brands change as the market does, and so do our recommendations.

Common questions

Residential Solar questions

How much will I actually save?
It depends almost entirely on how much of your own solar you use rather than export. A household that's home during the day will save a lot more than one that isn't. Rather than quote a headline percentage, we'll model your specific situation off your bills and show you the working.
Will solar work on my roof?
Most Auckland roofs are workable. North-facing is ideal, but east and west-facing arrays perform well too and often suit households better because they spread generation across the morning and afternoon. Heavy shading is the main limiting factor, and we'll tell you straight if your roof isn't suitable.
Do I need a battery as well?
Not necessarily. A battery makes a lot of sense if you use most of your power in the evening, want backup during outages, or want to avoid peak pricing. If none of those apply to you yet, we'll say so, and design the solar so a battery drops in cleanly later.
How long does an installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in a day, sometimes two for larger or more complex roofs. The longer part of the timeline is usually the grid connection approval, which we manage for you.
What warranties come with it?
Manufacturer warranties on quality panels run up to 30 years for performance, with separate product and inverter warranties. We'll set out exactly what's covered, by whom, and for how long in your quote, rather than just a headline number.
Can I expand the system later?
Yes, if it's designed for it from the start. That means leaving inverter headroom and switchboard capacity. It's one of the reasons we ask about your future plans up front.
No pressure, ever
