Battery options are available for those interested in battery storage. “The extra daylight hours in this part of the world provide a natural advantage. The power outputs are on a par with the sunniest places in the world - the result is perfect Solar PV conditions.” M aking high quality solar products available to New Zealand consum- ers at a competitive price point is the number one goal of solar energy entre- preneur and sustainability advocate Doone Morrell. In 2013, he founded World Solar in New Zealand on the vision that quality solar should be affordable for Kiwi homes and businesses. This was at a time when prices in the solar market were high and out of most homeown- ers’ budgets. Today, the privately owned Kiwi company has expert solar consultants and installers all around the country, delivering some of the best solar products in the world and priced to give the highest return on investment. “We’ve researched the market to find the best solar products for New Zealand’s weather conditions and have close relationships with our chosen partners,” says Doone. “ We’re working with trusted industry leaders like Trina Solar – the world’s leading panel manufacturer – along with Solar Edge, SolaX and Enphase.” Around New Zealand, interest in sustaina- ble solar energy is growing and more people are exploring solar options for their homes, businesses and farms. The good news is that this country is superbly well-placed to make the most of the sun’s natural energy. “The extra daylight hours in this part of the world provide a natural advantage. The power outputs are on a par with the sunniest places in the world - the result is perfect Solar PV conditions.” World Solar has a long track record of qual- ity installation, with over 20 years’ combined experience across homes, businesses and farms. Having tried and tested products over the years, the team is confident of delivering the best for the price and the right solar system for every home/electricity consumption profile. Each solar power system is designed in line with individual roof conditions, angle and the environment. Battery options are available for those interested in battery storage. Smart tools ensure customers can make the most of solar energy. World Solar has a ‘Solar Savings Calculator’ that enables people to work out their home’s potential cost savings through choosing a solar solution. Doone says householders can expect to save money off their power bill from day one of installation, with options available for both new and existing homes. An informative eBook is another useful resource offered by World Solar. It outlines the main benefits of solar; how to work out if solar is the right choice for your location and style of house; practical infor- mation on the logistics of installing solar; how much you can potentially save with solar; and how to maximise your savings. Doone says there is no doubt that solar energy is a sustainable choice for people’s new homes. “It is a positive technology from an environ- mental standpoint and has additional financial advantages.” He says that World Solar believes solar energy should be installed in every new fu- ture-proofed home. And he says all installations come with a 25- year warranty for power production. “Solar energy is also a smart choice for fu- ture-focussed New Zealand businesses with a passion for innovation and a drive to efficient- ly manage costs.” “We are passionate about working with Kiwi homeowners and businesses so they can reap the rewards of using the sun’s power to their advantage.” Solar solutions for every application Residential Marine RV Telecoms Utilities Commercial YHI Energy @yhienergynz 0800 99 33 44 yhienergy.co.nz energysales@yhi.co.nz ENERGY S O L AR E V CHARG I NG BAT T ER Y S TORAG E
