SOLAR POWER FOR WELLINGTON HOMES
Take back control of your power bills
We don't believe rising power prices should simply be accepted. A well-designed solar system helps you generate your own electricity, reduce your reliance on the grid and take greater control of your energy costs.
Why more Wellington homeowners are choosing solar panels
Installing solar isn't just about reducing your power bill today. It's about creating a home that's more energy-efficient, more self-sufficient and better prepared for the future.

Generate more of your own electricity and reduce the amount you need to buy from the grid.

Power prices will always fluctuate. Solar helps put more control back in your hands.

Generate clean, renewable energy while reducing your home's environmental footprint.
An investment in your home
A professionally designed and installed solar system can add long-term value while making your home more energy efficient.

FAQs
Is my home suitable for solar?
Many homes are suitable for solar, but factors such as roof orientation, shading and available roof space all play a part. We'll assess your property and let you know whether solar is the right fit.
Do solar panels still work on cloudy Wellington days?
Yes. Solar panels continue generating electricity on cloudy days, although they'll typically produce less than they do in full sunshine.
What happens if the power goes out?
Most grid-connected solar systems automatically shut down during a power outage to protect lines workers. If backup power is important to you, we can discuss battery storage options.
Can I add a battery later?
In many cases, yes. If battery storage isn't part of your budget today, we can discuss designing a system that's ready for it in the future.
How long do solar panels last?
Quality solar panels are built to perform for decades. Most manufacturers provide long product and performance warranties, giving you confidence in your investment.
How much could I save on my power bill?
Every household is different, so your savings will depend on how much electricity you use, when you use it and the size of your solar system. We'll help you understand what you could realistically expect before you invest.
Can solar power an electric vehicle?
Absolutely. Many homeowners choose solar as a way to reduce the cost of charging their EV. If an electric vehicle is part of your future plans, we'll factor that into our recommendations.
Can I get finance for solar power?
Yes. We offer finance options through Gem and Q Card, making it easier to spread the cost of your solar system. It's also worth talking to your bank - most major banks offer low-interest green home loans or top-ups specifically for solar and battery installations, often at rates well below standard lending. We're happy to talk through the options when we provide your quote.
