Why Solar Power?
Reduce power bills
- The price of power is only going to continue to go up. By installing your solar power system now, you can start reducing your reliance on electricity from the grid and significantly reducing your power bill.
When the power goes out, you’re self-sufficient
- We all know New Zealand is prone to the odd emergency situation, and here in the south, our wild winters can often cause additional issues like power outages when it snows. A solar power system gives you peace of mind knowing you can keep things running during an emergency. The addition of batteries and a generator is the complete package for self-sufficiency.
Payback from the grid
- There’s nothing better than the energy company paying you. Solar power gives you the opportunity to sell excess energy you’re not using back to the grid.
Be a part of a better future
- Solar power systems produce clean energy from the sun, a far better option than coal and gas. While New Zealand derives much of its energy production from renewables, solar panels are a powerful way to make a collective difference.
Calculating return on your solar power system
There are many factors that influence the performance of a solar system, and therefore, your return on investment. We prefer to create an individual estimation of ROI based on your property, your current electricity bill, and how you live. We compare actual solar production with your current power bill to give a more realistic indication of what you can expect to achieve.
As a general rule, there are a few key areas that will affect your return on investment. These are:
- The size of your system
- How much power you use at your property, and how you prefer to use your appliances, lights and hot water.
- Installation costs
- Electricity rates in your area
- Battery storage capacity
How much will I save on my power bill with a solar system?
In our experience, every household is different. Getting the most from your solar system requires education and a good understanding of achieving optimal performance through lifestyle changes and accurate monitoring. This is the best way to achieve a good result for the system, and we include this education and training as part of our installation service.
Monitor your solar: The Goodwe Dashboard & App
What good is a solar power system if you can’t see exactly what’s happening at all times?
The SEMS Portal is an online platform that gives you all the data you need to calculate your energy generation, consumption, battery life and income from energy buyback. We believe this is one of the best elements of the solar power system.
Next Steps
There are a few things to consider when weighing up solar from both a financial and sustainability perspective. The next step is for us to meet and discuss your options in more detail. After this, you will have a better idea of:
- How much you could save on your power bills
- What type and size of system is best for your house
- How much power your home could generate
- Full price quote for supply and installation of your system
For all of our EME solar customers, we include a full explanation of the system once it is installed, training on using the SEMSPortal app and follow-up service for any trouble-shooting. It’s important that you get the most from your system to experience the best results. Sometimes, this takes a few minor adjustments to the system and how you manage energy use in your home after it is up and running. I will always be available to come back and make sure we get it right.
