No install cost - battery solar system
Hi, a few people have been asking me about my solar battery setup which kicked in during the flooding blackout, and I was able to run the fridge, have internet and charge phones etc.
There is no install costs and they worked out what size I needed based on power bills, and monthly it costs a little under what we normally were paying on a reasonable power company. They own the gear, they replace anything as necessary over time too. It is a 20 year contract and promise what you do use from the grid will never increase in price over that time. If you sell you can include it in your sell price and pay it back, or transfer the contract to the new owner.
If you are serious and want to have a nosey you can organise it through them, and this link is a referal that will flick a little cash my way. It'll assist me chop down my horrendously large Old man pine that requires a crane to assist, which is crazy expensive. Also they use a local reputable Electrical business to do the install.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
