Woohoo we can now supply and install Solar Systems...
We've been testing our new off-grid solar system for a wee while now and are very happy to say it is both brilliant and liberating!
In fact we think Our system is so good we're wanting to share with you guys and have put together 2, 3 and 5KW system packages at a great introductory price starting at $7250 for the 2KW with absolutely EVERYTHING* to get you set up!
So, for $7250 you'll get:
6 x A-grade 390W 72-cell mono-PV panels
4 x 150Amp-hour AGM batteries (these are made for solar) 12 V batteries
1 x 60A/48V Inverter-Controller-Charger (and it's a pure sine wave inverter to keep your expensive electonics safe)
1 x Combiner box with lightning protection device and breakers for your PV panels.
100m of 4mm2 (proper) designed-for-solar cable, all your MC4 plugs and the choice of roof or floor mount steel galvanised mounting frame and hardware.
Call us if you're interested in a chat & you're most welcome to come checkout our system in the flesh...
*Depending on your install situation you might need some additional stuff to comply with the ANZSNZS5033:2014 rules around installing solar systems but we can help with that too.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
