Choosing your ideal solar system
Select the right system for your needs: panel-only for savings, battery for backup, or off-grid for full independence. Compare options to find your best fit.
Panel-only Solar Systems
BEST FOR: REDUCING BILLS, RELYING ON THE GRID
Solar panels, inverter, with grid connection
Connect your home to solar panels and the grid to cut electricity costs and earn credits for excess energy. A simple, affordable entry to solar power.
Key benefits:
- Save and earn: Lower bills and earn credits by exporting surplus power.
- Reliable access:Seamless grid connection ensures consistent electricity.
- Affordable setup: A cost-effective introduction to solar energy.
- Minimal maintenance: Simple design with fewer components to maintain.
Considerations:
- Grid dependency: Relies on the grid during outages.
- No Storage: Immediate use or export of solar energy only.
Hybrid Battery Solar Systems
IDEAL FOR: FLEXIBLE ENERGY USE, RELIABLE BACKUP
Solar panels, hybrid inverter + battery storage, with grid connection
Store surplus solar energy for use during outages while staying connected to the grid. Ideal for those seeking backup and energy independence.
Key benefits:
- Backup power: Keep essential appliances running during outages.
- Smart energy use: Store solar energy to reduce grid reliance.
- Eco savings: Lower grid consumption while supporting green energy goals.
- Cost efficiency: Offset high-rate grid electricity with stored power.
Considerations:
- Higher initial cost: Includes batteries and hybrid inverters.
- Energy planning: Requires prioritising essential loads during outages.
- Partial grid dependence: Uses the grid as a secondary power source.
Off-Grid Solar Systems
BEST FOR: COMPLETE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
Solar panels, off-grid inverter, battery storage, backup generator
Go fully independent with solar panels, battery storage, and optional generator support. Perfect for remote homes or full self-sufficiency.
Key benefits:
- Total independence: Eliminate reliance on the grid and electricity bills.
- Remote reliability: Dependable energy anywhere, anytime.
- 24/7 power: Battery storage and optional generator for backup security
- Sustainable living: Fully renewable energy reduces your carbon footprint.
Considerations:
- Larger investment: Higher upfront costs compared to other systems.
- Extensive storage: Requires adequate batteries for low-sunlight periods.
- Backup generator option: Adds reliability for prolonged non-solar days.

Grid-Tied Battery Upgrade Option
BEST FOR: ENHANCED RELIABILITY, ENERGY STORAGE
Integration of battery storage with the current grid-tied system and grid connection
Enhance your solar power system NZ with battery storage for backup and greater independence. This upgrade boosts resilience and cuts reliance on peak-time grid electricity.
Key benefits:
- Power during outages: Store solar energy for reliable backup when the grid is down.
- Maximise solar use: Save excess solar energy for later use.
- Peak-time savings: Reduce reliance on expensive grid power during high-demand hours.
Considerations:
- Backup duration: Batteries may not cover extended outages.
- Upfront cost: Higher initial investment than standard grid-tied setups.
- System compatibility: Check inverter compatibility before upgrading
- Efficiency loss: Minor energy loss occurs in storage and conversion.
