Solar Explained

Solar Homes

Solar thermal panels use the energy from the sun to heat water. A transfer fluid moves the heat to your hot water tank ready for use in the home.

High Cost of Electricity

New Zealander’s pay more than two thirds more for their electricity than Australians.

Power prices have climbed relentlessly over the past decade and the Government is currently planning the partial sale of our electricity assets to the private sector. It is unlikely that these asset sales will guarantee any certainty for low and stable electricity prices for families.

Design & Installation Service

SolarCity is an all-in-one service provider, with everything you need to power your home with clean solar energy. We will oversee your entire project and provide a single point of contact and accountability throughout the life of your system.

SolarTrak Monitoring

The value of your SHW system derives from the amount of electricity or gas it saves. To ensure your system is optimised, every SolarCity hot water system comes standard with our SolarTrak service.

Grants & Consents

It is a requirement of every local authority in New Zealand that you obtain a building consent if you are installing a solar system. If you are building a new home then that consent can be “bundled” with your general building consent and normally won’t attract any extra fees.

Case Studies

From refurbishments and renovations through to new build projects, solar architecture can be incorporated into almost any building project using a selection of versatile solutions.
