Shop a Wide Range of Electrical Products at Steel Electrical
As solar power technology advances, new panels and products arise. Some are exciting innovations, while others boast benefits now and cost the owner more in the long run. We make sure we only provide you with the highest quality products that represent the best long term value.
Take a look through our range of quality, cost-effective and efficient products that are tried, tested and recommended by happy solar partners before you.
Solar panels convert energy in the sun’s light to usable electricity. We wanted to supply our customers with high-quality solar panels, from companies that will be around in the future. After all, if the company isn’t there, neither is your warranty. For these reasons we choose to partner with REC Solar.
Solar Panels
Solar inverters convert variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into alternating current (AC) that can be fed into your home or business. We wanted to offer inverters to our customers that are of the highest quality, have great support in New Zealand, and will last for the life of the solar system. The Fronius GEN24 inverter series promotes both of these.
Fronius inverters are Austrian made and of the highest quality. Fronius has put them through years of rigorous testing, ensuring they have one of the lowest failure rates on the market and the best reputation.
Fronius has a higher price point than many of the entry-level inverters available. We feel our customers would rather spend more upfront now on a quality piece of kit, than pay twice for an entry-level inverter, that will likely fail a few years down the track. By using Fronius, we know we can maintain a great reputation for quality work and quality products, way into the future.
With Solar.Web, Fronius online solar monitoring platform offers real-time solar production and energy consumption monitoring, so you know exactly what’s going on in your house and when.
Inverters : On-Grid
Inverters : Off-Grid
For off grid applications we rely on Selectronic inverter systems. We do this as they are reliable, adaptable, and scalable.
Reliable - With most off grid systems installed in hard to reach places these systems need to be dependable and provide years of hassle free operation.
Adaptable - These units can be configured to be used with many different types of battery systems meaning we can tailor each system to the situation easily.
Scalable - Fully customisable and scalable means when life changes this system can change with it. If you need more power we can add more Selectronic and battery systems meaning you will not waste money on buying equipment that will become redundant
Batteries
With a solar battery storage system, either coupled with a grid-tied system or off-grid, you can save the energy you generate to use later when the sun isn’t shining.
Pylontech
The Pylontech lithium batteries are low voltage modular batteries, because of this the system can be easily added to if increased storage is needed. Each battery has a Battery Management System (BMS) in charge of controlling the charge, discharge and temperature of the battery. This avoids issues such as overcharging and keeps the battery in a safe and stable condition. Pylontech batteries are covered by a 10 year warranty.
BYD
BYD residential batteries are a perfect match to both Fronius and Selectronic inverters. They are scalable, which allows you to start small with your battery bank and add more as you need. BYD batteries are covered by a 10 year warranty.
