Solar can be a great investment for your home or business but finding the right system can be a difficult process. The solar industry has complex regulations, a vast range of products and many differing opinions.

You can trust our local experienced team of designers and installers with over 10 years of experience in solar installations to give expert service and advice. Our experience extends beyond solar into all aspects of the electrical industry so we can look at the bigger picture and how solar will interact with your whole installation.  Our team regularly engages in research and training to find the most reliable brands and bring you the latest technology.

Residential

Single phase, three phase, string inverters or micro inverters we can help you make the right decisions for solar that is optimized for your home. Panels can be mounted flush to your roof, extended up on brackets or even on the ground.

If your circumstances mean your energy usage is high outside of daylight hours we can design options to better utilize the energy you produce. This may include load management, hot water diversion or battery storage.

Batteries can also be a great consideration to drive your power bills further into the ground and power your home during a grid outage.

Commercial

Installing solar on your business will reduce operating costs with savings often covering the initial investment in as little as 5-10 years. Generally business have higher energy usage during daylight hours so the energy you generate is immediately used and less is purchased from the grid.

We can design a system to suit almost any roof, use ground mounting systems or even float panels on water.

Ask us about energy monitoring and load management to further reduce your energy costs, with or without solar.

Off-grid

Independent off-grid generation systems are becoming increasingly popular due to expensive network and grid connection costs. While the initial investment may be large, it can often be a similar or less cost than installing long mains cables in rural environments. Once installed your energy costs are limited to some simple maintenance.

Our smart off grid systems can manage generation from solar or hydro while charging the batteries, controlling loads and automatically starting a backup generator, if required.

Independent inspections

Is your solar system performing optimally or do you have concerns about work carried out by another contactor? We can make assessments of existing solar installations to review performance and compliance.

Servicing

Solar system are reasonably low maintenance but having your system serviced can help to optimize its performance and identify issues before they become a problem.

We offer a comprehensive servicing plan that includes cleaning your panels, thermal imaging, structural and electrical checks along with a performance assessment.

Hydro and wind generation

Additionally to solar our team is experienced in hydro and wind generation. While not as common in Mid Canterbury, there are some great areas where these natural resources can be utilized for electricity generation.
