Basic Information About PV Industry

The sun is an abundant energy source that’s freely available and renewable.

Buildings that are specifically passive solar designed make the best use of the sun’s free warmth in winter, whilst keeping it out in summer when it is not needed. Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, generate electricity directly from sunlight. Solar energy can also be concentrated to heat and store energy in material such as water. Another technology, solar water heating, uses the sun to heat water.

Tomorrow's Energy Today

All New Zealanders can participate in the transition to this sustainable energy system that powers the low carbon economy.

SEANZ as the peak organisation leads the energy independence vision and the new way by establishing and maintaining the platforms on which the technology, stakeholders, legislation, policy, events and standards operate.

Are solar panels right for your home? Are you solar-suitable?

A PV system for an average-sized house can be installed for under 10 grand. However, how long it’ll take to pay itself off depends on several factors, including:

how much power the panels generate, how much of that you use, and how much is sold back to the retailer
the earnings you forgo by not investing the money spent on solar elsewhere or, if you are borrowing, the interest payments you make
