FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a grid-connected solar power system?
Solar panels are installed on your roof and produce electricity in DC current. This electricity is converted to AC current through your solar inverter and then delivered via your house’s switchboard to your appliances, such as your television, hot water cylinder, fridge and heat pump. Any excess electricity generated will be sent back to the grid, for which you will get a credit on your electricity bill if your electricity retailer has a buyback offer.
How long does an solar system installation take?
The length of installation depends on the size of the solar power system, whether it includes batteries and the roof condition, but will typically take anywhere between 1 day for a grid-tied installation and 2 days for a more advanced battery based system.
Are solar panels effective in winter?
Solar panels are effective during the winter months; however you will notice a drop in the overall solar generated compared to summer months. This is normal due to the height of the sun in the sky and there being less sunlight hours over the winter months.
Is my house suitable for a solar power system?
If your roof is in reasonable condition and gets a good level of sun throughout the day, it is likely your home is a good candidate for solar energy. We do not recommend installing solar on old roofs that are in need of replacement in the next couple of years. If this is the case, we would recommend you time the installation of your solar energy system to coinide with your roof replacement.
Are solar power systems good for the environment?
Solar power is the most abundant renewable energy resource on Earth. Solar power systems do not emit any CO2 and their costs have been reducing consistently over the last decade. In contrast, fossil fuels are being depleted, are not renewable and come with unpredictable prices that are typically trending upwards. Solar power is the clear answer for the future of energy as it localises energy generation at the point of consumption and provides the individual home owner with the power and independence to choose how they receive their power. Although many large entities are not yet committed to solar power, a household can proactively choose to benefit from having a solar power system on its roof.
What is the buyback rate?
Most power companies currently pay around 8c/kWh for electricity exported to the grid. This can vary between companies and special offers. You can contact your power company to confirm their buyback rate, or take advice from ZEN on which electricity retailer is best suited to your needs.
How much will I save?
Whilst there are costs to you in purchasing and owning the solar system, solar power will help you to reduce your monthly electricity spend by offsetting the energy you would otherwise purchase from your electricity retailer. How much your monthly electricity bill will reduce by depends on a number of factors, including the size of the system that you install, how much electricity your system generates, and how much of this electricity you consume inside your home versus export to the grid.
What size are the solar panels?
The size of a system is typically determined by the size of the system you require and the available roof space at the property. As a guide, most panels are approximately 1 metre wide by 1.65 metres high, meaning approximately 5.5 m2 of roof space is required per 1 kW of solar panels.
Do solar power systems require building consent?
Most Councils take the view that installing a Solar PV system is energy work, which means it is exempt from requiring a building consent. This is in contrast to Solar Water Heating systems, which due to being plumbing based water systems, do require building consent. This is an important difference to note. Heritage listed buildings or homes in heritage areas may require a building consent.
How much maintenance do solar panels require?
Solar photovoltaic panels require little maintenance. Your panels can build up dust and other material over time but solar panel cleaning is not that different from cleaning your windshield. This can be done with water and a soft brush.
Will the solar panels still operate if we experience a powercut?
No, unless you have a battery based solar energy system with back-up power, the solar panels will cease to produce power as the solar inverter requires the system to be connected to the grid in order to operate and provide power to your home. This is a safety mechanism to protect appliances at your property and for the safety of electrial workers maintaining the electricity network.
Which direction should my solar panels face?
Solar panels that face north get the maximum amount of sunlight during daylight hours to generate electricity. Placing panels on an east or west facing roof will still produce a substantial amount of power. It is not recommended that you install panels with a southerly aspect.
What if my property is 3-phase?
Three phase properties may require a 3-phase solar system. With a three phase solar system there may be instances when you will import energy on one phase while exporting energy on another phase. This is because all three phases operate independently of one another. You may want to ask your installer to check the loading on each phase as part of the installation process.
