Frequently Asked Questions
How much does solar installation cost in NZ?
A typical residential solar system in NZ costs $8,000–$20,000+ depending on system size, panels, and whether battery storage is included. A standard 5–6kW grid-tied system costs around $12,000–$18,000 installed.
How long does it take for solar to pay off in NZ?
The payback period for NZ solar installations is typically 7–12 years depending on your electricity usage, local solar resource, and whether you sell excess power back to the grid. Post-payback, savings continue for 20+ years.
Do I need council consent for solar panels in NZ?
Most residential roof-mounted solar installations are permitted as of right and don't require building consent. However, large commercial systems or ground-mounted arrays may need consent. Your installer will advise.
Can I sell solar power back to the grid in NZ?
Yes. Most NZ power retailers offer buy-back rates (typically 8–17c/kWh) for excess solar exported to the grid. Rates vary by retailer — shop around to maximise your export earnings.
