Moving to a solar energy system is a major decision that will improve your finances and your family’s quality of life.

Large power bills and the need to reduce household outgoings are among the most common reasons that families tell us they choose to add solar to traditional energy sources. However, the benefits of solar extend far beyond these two reasons.

If you’re considering installing solar as part of a home renovation or a new build, you no doubt have a number of questions to be answered, before you arrive at a decision.

In this post, we preview our new eBook, “Is solar the right choice for your home?”.

The eBook covers what you need to know about switching to solar, to help you make the best decision for yourself and your family.

Some the topics we’ve written about in the eBook include:

• The main benefits of solar
• How to work out if solar is right for you and your home
• Information about installation
• How much you could save per month and over the lifetime of the system.

 The top benefits of adding solar to your home

Installing a solar system has several advantages that will impact your wallet, family and environment. Some of the top benefits are:

• Significant savings. Cut your household energy costs by saving money on your monthly power bill. This adds up to a sound return on investment for many years to come.

• Make money from your excess power. Solar gives you the opportunity to make money by selling any excess power you generate, back to the grid.

• Take back control. A solar system allows you to become partially or fully self-sufficient so you won’t be reliant on the electrical grid. 

• Looks great. Our solar panels are attractive and integrate perfectly into your roof — whatever its style. 

• Help the environment. By powering your home from the sun, you improve your health and protect the environment by reducing your carbon footprint.

Solar power is no longer an “alternative” choice for New Zealand homeowners. It’s a mainstream option that makes sense from a financial and an environmental point of view.
