Why choose products on this list?

Solar can lower your power bills and improve resilience, but conflicting or technical information can feel overwhelming. This list helps to find high quality products easily, for greater confidence when purchasing.  

Technology is developing fast, and soon, your solar system, appliances, and the electricity grid will be able to communicate with each other to help manage flexible electricity use. This will smooth out peak demand and deliver lower power bills. The products on this list meet specifications to be part of this system, so they are future proofed. 

Currently, solar panels last 25-30 years, so ensuring that systems installed on New Zealand homes are efficient and smart will help maximise the value from the energy they generate, over the course of their lives.
