Is solar energy the cheapest form of power?

Solar energy is the cheapest form of energy. While electricity prices in New Zealand are still lower than in places like Europe, where costs are 3-4 times higher, they’ve been steadily rising. That’s why more people are turning to solar as a long-term investment. Here’s how it adds up:

🔋 System Example: 20 x 415W panels + 6kW inverter + 8.2kWh AlphaESS battery = $30,000 investment.
⚡ Production: An estimated 11,000 kWh/year, saving you big on your power bills.
📉 Cost Per kWh: Just 11.5 cents compared to the 21-cent average in NZ – that’s half the price!
💰 Long-Term Savings: Over 25 years, your system will generate around 260,000 kWh. If electricity prices continue to rise, you could save more than $80,000 in total!

With a solar system and battery storage, you’ll make the most of the sun’s energy, power your home efficiently, and keep grid costs low. And since panels are guaranteed to produce at least 85% of their original output after 25 years, your savings will only grow.

Is my roof suitable for solar panels?

Switching to solar can help you lower energy costs and shrink your carbon footprint. Here’s how to make sure your property is ready for solar panels:

🏠 Best Roofs: In New Zealand, north-facing roofs with a 15-40° pitch capture the most sunlight. East or west-facing roofs can still work, but may produce less energy.
🌳 Mind the Shade: Sunlight is key! Avoid shaded areas from trees, buildings, or vents for optimal performance. Even intermittent shadows can affect efficiency.
🔍 Roof Condition Matters: Solar panels last 25-30 years, so make sure your roof is in good shape before installation to avoid future hassles.
⚖️ Support the Weight: Most roofs can handle the weight of solar panels without extra reinforcement. Materials like metal and asphalt shingles work best.
🏡 Ground-Mount Option: If your roof isn’t suitable, a ground-mounted solar system is a great alternative for capturing the most sun.

Maximise Your Solar Savings!

Installing a solar power system is the first step toward cutting your energy costs by generating your own electricity. But to truly unlock the full benefits, you need to choose the right electricity provider and know how to optimize your solar power use. Here’s how:

1. Generate Free Solar Energy: Power your home during the day with free electricity from your panels, reducing your grid dependence and lowering bills.

2. Get the Best Export Rate: If your system often produces excess energy, choose a provider with a high solar export rate to maximise what you earn from sending power back to the grid.

3. Leverage Off-Peak Charging: With a solar battery, you can charge it using cheaper or even free off-peak electricity rates at night, then use that stored power during the day.

4. Pick the Right Provider for Your Setup: For those with batteries, look for providers with low-cost nighttime electricity. If you’re exporting more, aim for the highest buyback rates.

Choosing the right electricity plan is key to maximizing your solar investment. Don’t just go solar—go smart with Solar Group! ☀️💸
