Not too sure how solar power works? Have a look below to see the different types of systems, how they operate and which one best suits your lifestyle.
Grid-tied solar power
A grid-tied solar power system is, as the name suggests, a solar energy system that is connected to the main electricity grid.
These are the simplest and most inexpensive systems available, they can provide a fantastic return on investment if the generated energy is largely consumed by the household.
Off-Grid solar power
An off-grid solar power system is a self-contained energy system that produces and stores electricity independently of the main electricity grid, these are also sometimes referred to as stand alone power systems.
This is a great option for remote locations and, depending on network installation charges, can be far cheaper than the cost of installing grid power to your site.
Hybrid solar power
Hybrid solar power systems are the best of both worlds: you get the reliability of the grid, with the ability to store your excess solar energy for use when the sun isn’t shining. This typically reduces your dependence on grid imports by 70% to 95%.
Hybrid systems also provide backup power to keep critical loads, such as fridges and lights, running during grid power outages.

For optimal efficiency, solar panels should be placed on a roof facing as close to true north as possible, in the Southern Hemisphere, the tilt angle should generally match the latitude of your location.
For example, if you're in Auckland, which has a latitude of approximately 36.8 degrees, you'd aim for a tilt angle close to 36.8 degrees. Make sure the panels are positioned in an area free from shading by trees, buildings, or other obstructions to ensure maximum energy generation throughout the day.
Our experienced team conducts a site assessment to determine the optimal placement, ensuring your solar panels capture the most sunlight throughout the day.
-
Power savings from solar installations vary based on factors like system size, local sunlight conditions, and energy consumption patterns.
On average, solar power systems can significantly reduce or even eliminate electricity bills.
During our consultation, we analyze your energy needs and provide a realistic estimate of the potential savings you can expect over the life of the system.
