- Can I install solar myself?Yes you can, if you're an electrician. However we don’t recommend this as solar installation requires specialist knowledge. Also, we do require photographic evidence to ensure you get your warranty.
- Do I need a building consent?No.
- Will I need lines consent and a new meter?Yes you will, however we organise this for you. Lines consent is a must for every network around NZ in order to obtain compliance and a new meter is required so that you can import and export power from the grid.
- What if I have a ‘solar-ready’ cylinder?That’s great but it isn’t needed for solar power, as any cylinder can be powered by solar panels.
- Will I need to be with a specific power company?Yes, you do. Most power companies now support Solar, however, feel free to check with us or them directly to see if they provide import/export metering.
- Can you retrofit solar, or is it only for new builds?Solar costs approximately the same to be installed to an existing home as it does for a new build.

Going solar with or without batteries, adds value to your home that you can enjoy for generations to come. The expected ROI (return on investment) is usually in the vicinity of 10-15%. Factors that affect ROI include the size of the solar power system installed, the roof angle and slope the panels are installed on, and how much power is used when solar power is generated.
What our clients said about Ecoefficient
Here’s what our client’s have said about our products and service.
“Amazing, lovely company who I couldn’t recommend more highly. Excellent communication made the whole process so easy. Our September bill was $326 and our October bill came in at only $186. 8 days of this bill wasn’t even on solar yet and we had an extra adult in the house! Best decision we every made.”
Kathryn McMurdo

“I am really impressed with Ecoefficient Solutions – from the initial planning right through to the completion of the install. Laura and the team listened to everything that I wanted to achieve to suit my needs. The system basically halved my power bill and has exceeded my savings calculations from the start”
Rob McGregor
Napier
“We were interested in saving on our power bill, especially on our hot water. Laura and the team have been great to deal with. We had it installed in June 2018 and are pleased with the savings we are making a year on. The whole process from site scope to installation was like clock-work”
David Hill
Taupo
A big thank you to the whole team of Ecoefficient Solutions. It was an absolutly pleasure to work with Laura, her team and the electricians who did the whole installation in a day (even facing a few challanges and no time for coffees). It was allways a dream of us to go solar. Not only to save money, just to do something for the planet. It's an awesome feeling when we are looking at our monitoring app and see what our system is producing. Even our system is just a few days old, I am already thinking of extending the numbers of panels on my roof and adding a battery. Laura, more business will come your way one day. Thank you again!!!
