FAQs

Commercial Solar Questions

How much does commercial solar cost in NZ?
Commercial solar costs vary based on system size and complexity. Small business systems (10-50kW) typically range from $15,000-$60,000. Large commercial systems (100kW+) can range from $80,000-$500,000+. We provide free assessments with detailed ROI calculations.
What is the ROI for commercial solar?
Most commercial solar systems achieve ROI in 4-7 years, depending on energy usage patterns and system size. After payback, you benefit from essentially free electricity for 20+ years. Our systems typically reduce power costs by 40-60%.
Is there financing available for commercial solar?
Yes! For rural and agricultural businesses, the ASB Smart Solar Loan offers 0% interest for 5 years (up to $150,000). We also work with various commercial finance options. Many businesses find their loan repayments are less than their previous power bills.
How long does commercial installation take?
Small commercial installations (under 50kW) typically take 2-5 days. Larger systems (100kW+) may take 1-4 weeks. We schedule work to minimize disruption to your operations. Our 282kW Matatiki project was completed in just 2 weeks.
What size system does my business need?
System size depends on your electricity consumption, roof space, and budget. During our free assessment, we analyze your power bills and usage patterns to recommend the optimal system. We can also design systems to allow for future expansion.
Can I sell excess power back to the grid?
Yes, all our commercial systems are grid-connected, allowing you to export excess power and receive buyback credits. Rates vary by retailer, but this adds an additional income stream for your business.
What warranty do you offer on commercial systems?
Our Tier-1 panels come with 25-30 year performance warranties. Commercial inverters typically have 10-15 year warranties. We also provide a workmanship guarantee and ongoing support throughout the system lifetime.
