Why fixed packages?
Standard sizes let us agree one price with our installer for each, so we can publish it. The survey confirms the roof matches what you told us before you sign. See what solar costs in NZ.
Not sure which size?
Divide your yearly kWh by about 1,400 for a starting size in kW, or let the estimate pick one. Still unsure? A $149 solar report sizes it for your roof.
