Flexible grid-tied and off-grid solar options
We understand that every property is different, so we offer both grid-tied and off-grid solar power installation options. If you want to stay connected to the national grid and potentially earn credits for surplus electricity, a grid-tied solar electricity system is ideal. This setup is perfect for homes and businesses with appliances that need constant power—like pools, air conditioning, or commercial freezers.
For those in rural areas or anyone wanting complete energy independence, our off-grid solar systems provide reliable electricity without relying on the grid. These systems use batteries to store power, so you’ll have electricity even when the sun isn’t shining. Off-grid solutions are especially useful where grid connection is costly or unavailable, and they can eliminate your power bills altogether.
- Complete solar power installation, including panels and inverters, for homes and businesses
- Choose grid-tied or off-grid home solar power systems to suit your energy needs
- Our local solar electricians help you save money by maximising Whakatāne’s sunshine

Yes. While north-facing panels in full sun perform best, modern solar technology allows for efficient energy capture even on partially shaded or east/west-facing roofs. Our team designs each system to suit your roof’s layout and local conditions, often using microinverters or optimisers to maximise output.
In some cases, yes. Older switchboards may not meet current safety standards or have capacity for new systems. As qualified residential electricians and commercial electricians, we can assess and upgrade your switchboard if needed, ensuring your property is safe and future-ready.
Solar and heat pumps work exceptionally well together. A solar system can offset the power needed to run your heat pump, especially during daylight hours. This synergy can significantly lower your heating and cooling costs across the year.
Absolutely. We often install solar panels on smaller or uniquely shaped commercial roofs by using high-efficiency panels or custom mounting systems. As experienced commercial electricians, we’ll design a solution that makes the most of your available space.
