Are solar panels worth it in New Zealand?

Solar panels are primarily made from silicon, with other materials added, to enable an electrical reaction when in contact with sun derived light. This reaction creates an electrical charge, in the form of DC (direct current) power.

Solar panels on commercial buildings are well known for cost-savings and adding to an organisation’s sustainability profile. What is less known is their ability to cool buildings and prolong commercial roof life. This article explores these topics.

Jalco Ltd is a leading wood processor in the Bay of Plenty region. Managing Director Leyton Dowman has an off-grid solar energy system at home and so already knew the benefits of rooftop solar power.

ZEN Energy Systems is very proud to have completed the installation of a 42 kW commercial solar energy system for Whangaparaoa College in Auckland, adding to ZEN's growing list of commercial solar installations.
