Sola4U Update
Hi there neighbours
We are talking solar water heating here not solar electric. Simple one panel system that provides a very good savings on hot water energy costs.
Some people ask - is it with installing solar water heating just before winter? Well, the answer is a resounding yes. Sure, there are a few days when the solar stuggle but your back up is always available. Given Tauranga's sunshine hours its a hard polace to beat for solar performance, notwithstanding the feel good of using the suns energy to heat your water and paying the energy companies less over the many years to come.
Its never a better time - get in before prices rise and the special runs out. Deal with the trusted local team since 1996 !

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
