A grid tie solar power system is the simply a power station on your roof that will save you money from the day its commissioned. Any power generated is used first by anything in the home using power, any surplus power is sent out on the national power grid for your neighbors to use. You get paid a small amount for the surplus.
A grid tie system is a great way to slash your power bill and protect yourself a little bit from future power price rises. Its also adds significant value to your home. Simple paybacks on a Grid tie system are typically between 7 and 11 years. The savings can be improved greatly by using power during the day when the sun is out, and by adding a hot water diverter. Grid tied solar systems are also very well suited to the power demands of business as well.
Sunz utilize top quality products from in our grid tie solar power systems. We use Fronius inverters which consistently rank No1 in Clean Energy Product reviews and REC solar modules which have the best warranty on the market.
Sunz Solar Energy Specialists was formed in 2000 to offer clients energy-efficient renewable energy solutions. Energy costs are rising and have been doing so for many years. The hydro lakes always seem to be in some state of emptiness, there’s no new oil and gas exploration allowed, and New Zealand imports coal from Australia just to keep our lights on.
In the early days, solar water heating was the only real financially viable renewable technology so most of Sunz systems we built around highly efficient solar water heating products from Europe and the USA. Technical improvements and cost reductions in solar power and battery products over the last 10 years have these systems now not only financially viable for most New Zealand households and business, but actually the preferred option.
