Solar energy is becoming an increasingly popular solution for homeowners in New Zealand who want to save money on their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint. One of the most common questions people ask is, “How much does a solar install cost in NZ?” The answer to this question can vary depending on a number of factors, but in this blog post, we’ll provide estimates for the cost of a solar installation in New Zealand and highlight the importance of requesting a custom quote from a solar installer and not relying on out-of-the box promotions for generic installations.
Cost of a Solar Installation in NZ
The cost of a solar installation in New Zealand can vary widely depending on the size of your home, your energy needs, and the type of solar system you choose. According to Energywise, a government-funded website that provides information on energy efficiency and renewable energy, the average cost of a residential solar installation in New Zealand ranges from $10,000 to $15,000.
However, it’s important to note that these are just estimates, and the actual cost of a solar installation for your home may be higher or lower depending on your specific needs. Providing more information such as your address, roof pitch, orientation to the sun and energy usage can help you get a more accurate idea of the cost of a solar installation for your home.
The Importance of Requesting a Custom Quote.
While estimates can be helpful for giving you an idea of the cost of a solar installation, it’s important to request a custom quote from a solar installer to ensure that the installation meets your personal needs. A custom quote takes into account a number of factors, including the size and orientation of your home, your energy needs, and your budget. With this information, a solar installer can (and should) provide a detailed, site-specific proposal for your home.
A custom quote also allows the solar installer to recommend the most appropriate type of solar system for your home. For example, if your home has limited roof space, a smaller solar system may be more appropriate. Conversely, if you have a large family and high energy needs, a larger solar system may be necessary to meet your energy needs. By requesting a custom quote, you can ensure that your solar installation is tailored to your specific needs and budget.
