Our Own Solar Install

Our Own Solar Install

We put solar on our own home. 20kW grid-tied system delivering $200 to $300 monthly credits in summer. The returns speak for themselves.

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.
