The amount saved will depend on the size of the system you decide to install, but on average each solar panel you install produces approximately $10-$15 of power per month. Power savings will depend on how much of the power you’ve created you then consume.

If you have battery storage the power is stored for your use once the solar stops operating (at night time). Without battery storage, your unused power will be exported back to the grid and credited to your power bill for around 7c-10c per kw.

Additional costs may be required for switchboard upgrades or other electrical work

The general range is 6-10 years. There are many factors that influence your payback time including which part of Northland you are in and your system’s location, the quality of the product and performance. When we provide your no obligation quote we can give you more detailed information on payback time for your individually designed solar system.

Solar PV panels have no moving parts so happily last well in excess of their 25-year warranty. We use Enphase microinverters because of their superior quality, warranty and will often last more than 20 years.
