Take control by reducing your energy bills by living more sustainably.

There is no better time than now to take control of your energy needs! 

By investing in quality solar panels, you can power your home appliances with electricity generated from the sun, rather than expensive grid electricity. This can cut an average home’s power bill in half. And the benefits don’t stop there. With a home solar system, you’re also doing your part to reduce carbon emissions and create a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations.

At Wanaka Solar, we offer a complete end-to-end service, starting with an in-depth survey to understand your home, energy needs, and goals.

Our team of solar experts create tailored solutions to meet your specific needs, and our skilled in-house installers work to bring your solar system to life with as little disruption as possible. But our commitment to you doesn’t stop there. We offer ongoing support to ensure your solar system continues to operate at peak efficiency, year after year.

How solar works

Hover over the image below for the key features your solar system will have

Solar panels

Solar panels are usually mounted on the roof. Sunlight hits solar cells, where its energy is converted into DC electrical energy.

Inverter

The inverter converts solar generated DC electricity into AC that can be used in the household. The inverter also monitors your solar system to ensure it performs as its best. More info.

Switchboard

Energy flows through your home's switchboard and is distributed to your appliances accordingly.

Demand

The energy your solar system produces will always be used first. If you produce more than you need, surplus is sold back to the grid automatically.

Energy storage

A solar system can be expanded with a battery. Batteries store surplus energy to be used at night or through power cuts.
More info.

Monitoring

Your solar system can come with on line monitoring software so you can use an app or web to monitor your production and usage in real-time.

Products you can trust

We only work with trusted suppliers to ensure your solar system is high performing, and long lasting. All products are tried and tested, from industry leading manufacturers who offer long warranties.
