About Solar

Power Generation

A solar system can generate power for any type of property or business, be it a tiny home or a large scale commercial plant.

Solar systems are also very reliable and low maintenance. Once installed, the system can be left to itself, or we can connect an in-depth monitoring system to analyse system performance - maximising your gains.

Central Otago also has fantastic sun hour numbers, which can produce plenty of solar power for business and homeowners to take advantage of. This is especially true for businesses which operate during day time hours, where savings of up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year can be made by investing in solar. Check out the graph on the left for a good example of average power consumed compared to solar produced power by a 9-5 small business.

Renewable Energy

With the planet's natural resources under increasing pressure and worldwide CO2 levels reaching increasingly dangerous levels by the day (climate.nasa.gov), now is the time for a change and to go green.

In New Zealand, approximately 80% of our electricity comes from renewable energy sources. Solar is on the rise and working with our current resources we can easily achieve the 100% renewable mark! This would make New Zealand a world leader in renewable energy.

This could also help take the strain off our hydro dams with ever-increasing low lake levels due to higher power demand. New Zealand's renewable energy is at a tipping point and solar power is becoming more accessible and affordable.
