4.5KW on-grid solar system installed in Blenheim

We recently completed the installation of a 4.5kW grid tied solar system in the Blenheim region. This regions is perfect for utilising the benefits of solar, with one of New Zealand’s sunniest climates.

For this solar installation we have used our new all black coloured Jinko solar panels, which match in very nicely with darker roofs and help to absorb the most energy possible.

For the inverter we used our Austrian made Fronius string inverter, which we believe to be one of the best inverters in the world. Fronius offer very good performance, as well as some very nice features like web based monitoring of both solar production and household consumption, which is available to you on a phone app. Their 5 year warranty can now also be extended to 20 years.

In addition to the inverter you can see our Elios Power Reducer beside the switchboard, which is used to divert any excess solar energy not being used in the home to the client's hot water cylinder. This reduces the amount of energy exported to the grid, and saves power use within the home, increasing the return on investment even more.
