Solar Power has reached a point where the cost of generating your own electricity from PV Panels is now less than buying from the grid.
So why don't more people do it?
Up front cost is often the biggest hinderance. Most systems will cost you the equivelant of your next ten years of power but once installed you have effectively locked in your power price for the next 25-30 years. The up front investment returns an average of 15% over this time, mainly due to the fact that power prices are increasing by around 7% every year.
Every home has different requirements and careful planning is required right from the outset to ensure a robust and cost-effective outcome that will last and allow you to live un-hindered.
Always be open to new ideas and what ever you do work with a professional who is open as well. Technology, Techniques and Knowledge in this field are growing at an alarming rate. It's great fun!
You may wish to live on the absolute minimum amount of power possible. Or your lifestyle or business may be one that requires using larger amounts of energy and no downtime with low intervention and maintenance. Either way, you do not need to be limited just because you have chosen to generate your own electricity.
We have just completed a PV powered, off-the-grid luxury executive home. Over 700 square meters of floor area powered by the sun (and if the sun goes away for too long a wee bit of diesel). Please feel free to contact us to discuss your particular requirements or to arrange a visit to one of our demonstration sites.
We have also just secured a driect line of import of international quality solar panels from China. These panels are guaranteed and very well priced.
For example: PV Solar Panels - less than $5.50 / watt + GST ! (even better pricing for full systems but only while the NZ dollar is strong - be in quick!)
