Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a solar question that’s not answered here or elsewhere on this website please email sales@solarzone.co.nz.

If we’re asked the same question often enough we’ll post it here.

Can these systems be retro-fitted to my home?

For solar electric systems the answer is yes - in most cases.

The installation will depend on the layout and condition of your roof. There may be some additional costs compared to integrating a system into a newly built home.

Once installed you will receive all the benefits of a new installation.

For solar electric systems we will be happy to make an assessment and provide an appropriate quotation.

What happens if grid-power is lost?

A grid connected solar electric system will automatically shut down as required by law to stop any solar electricity from flowing back into the grid and possibly injuring those working on the lines to restore the grid power supply.

Solar electric hybrid systems are now available. This allows for easy solar battery storage integration, allowing stored capacity available in a power outage.

What are the maintenance requirements?

Our solar electric modules should be mounted at minimum angle of 10 degrees.

At these angles the modules and collectors are self cleaning.

For our solar electric systems the inverter may need some attention during the 25 year warranty period of the modules. You will be made aware of this through your monitoring statistics.

There are no other requirements.
