Harness the power of the sun
It’s expected that by 2035, 92.1% of electricity in New Zealand will be produced using renewable means, including solar power.
Solar power in New Zealand is a growing trend and it’s easy to see why—it allows all kinds of businesses to generate clean energy at little or no cost, thanks to sunlight being completely free.
If you’re looking for an eco-friendly and reliable alternative to traditional methods of electricity production, solar power might be the way to go and you can experience many benefits that you wouldn’t have been able to access before.
Why is solar power in New Zealand gaining so much popularity?
The growing popularity of solar power
Solar power is gaining traction in New Zealand due to a variety of factors. One of the primary reasons is the growing awareness of environmental issues. As more New Zealanders become concerned about their impact on the planet, many are seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Solar energy provides a clean and renewable source of electricity that can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. This makes it an attractive option for those looking to contribute to a more sustainable future.
Technological advancements boosting adoption
Another important factor driving the adoption of solar power is technological advancement. Over the past few years, solar panel technology has significantly improved, making systems more efficient, reliable, and affordable for both residential and commercial use. Modern solar panels are now better at capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity, even on cloudy days. These technological improvements are making solar power a more viable and appealing option for a wider range of businesses across New Zealand.
Lower costs and greater accessibility
The cost of installing solar panels has also decreased considerably, further contributing to the growing popularity of solar energy. Over the last decade, the price of solar installations has dropped, making them more accessible to a larger number of people. Lower installation costs, combined with potential long-term savings on electricity bills, make solar power an attractive investment. Many business owners are seeing the financial benefits of installing solar systems, particularly as electricity prices continue to rise.
Energy independence for households and businesses
Energy independence is another key reason why many New Zealanders are turning to solar power. By generating their electricity, businesses of all sizes can reduce their reliance on the national grid and achieve greater control over their energy supply. This is particularly beneficial in remote or off-grid areas, where access to the traditional electricity grid may be limited or costly. Additionally, generating electricity from solar energy provides a safeguard against rising energy prices, as they can make their electricity.

FAQs
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels capture sunlight using photovoltaic cells, which convert the light into direct current (DC) electricity. This DC electricity is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter, making it usable for businesses.
Will solar panels work in cloudy or rainy weather?
Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, though their efficiency is reduced. They work best under direct sunlight.
What maintenance is required for solar panels?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dirt, debris, and snow, as well as periodic inspections to check for damage or obstructions, is usually sufficient.
