Reviews From Solar Power System Owners

We have asked people that brought a solar power system after getting 3 quotes through My Solar Quotes how their solar power systems are going! We asked:
What size system did you install?
How long has your solar power system been running for?
How did you find the solar installation?
How have you found the performance of the solar power system?
Do you have any other comments that you would like to share with New Zealanders thinking about going solar?

Chris & Margaret

Review Date: 29/10/2024

Size: 6kw

Running for: 3 months

Expected return on investment: 10%

Expected pay back period: 7 - 10

Comments on the installation: "Very professional with great communication"

Comments on the system performance: "Very happy with my system and its performance. I am able to compare with two similar sized installations within 10 km and we compare our daily solar harvest."

Advice: "At our age, we are not counting on recovering our investment through savings, however of the $15k was left on term deposit in the bank we would currently be getting around $40 / month in tax paid interest. However, having invested the $15k in solar our net savings are around $140 / month greatly helping eek out our meagre fixed income. We are heating all our hot water and charging the battery in our 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV every day. Our latest bill which includes $78.00 supply charge was $103. This includes the energy powering our car as we did not need any petrol."
