Our Own Solar Install
20kW Grid-Tied System, Lake Wiritoa
We don't just install solar, we put it on our own home. We recently installed a 20kW grid-tied solar system at our place out at Lake Wiritoa and the returns speak for themselves.
During summer, the power bill is gone. Replaced with a $200 to $300 credit every month. Every home is different and results depend on your power usage and property size. We went bigger than we needed to on purpose because the returns are better. The investment is paying itself off from day one.
Why Go Bigger?
Go too small and you're looking at 7 to 10 years before the system pays for itself. Go bigger and you can have it paid off in under 5. That's why we recommend sizing up where the budget allows. The returns are worth it.
Why Goodwe?
We went with Goodwe for the inverter. Reliable gear, smart monitoring so you can see exactly what you're generating, and a solid warranty to back it up. It's the same gear we recommend to anyone looking at solar in the Whanganui region.
"We wanted to cut our power bills and it made sense to do it ourselves first. Now we're generating more than we use most days and seeing $200 to $300 credits in summer. Best thing we've done to the place."— Matthew Boyd, Owner
