Making the Switch to Solar: Tailored Solutions for Your Unique Energy Needs
At Christchurch Electrical Solar, we understand the importance of finding the perfect solar solution for your needs, whether you're a homeowner, a business owner, or live in a rural area.
We analyse your power consumption patterns and goals to provide authentic, honest advice and our services are delivered by a team of in-house solar experts from quote through to installation and aftercare, providing consistency that ensures that you receive the same exceptional service throughout.
For homeowners with high daytime power usage, our aim is to reduce electricity costs and help make a positive environmental impact. We offer grid-tied systems for a solid return on investment and reliable power during outages. If you want to offset a major portion of your energy bill, use more power at night, and have the security of power supply during outages, a larger system with a battery may be ideal.
For those seeking complete independence from the grid, especially in remote locations, we offer off-grid options for self-sufficiency using solar power.
At Christchurch Electrical Solar, we pride ourselves on crafting customized solar solutions that save you money, reduce your carbon footprint, and provide reliable and sustainable energy.
Solar System Options
Grid Tied System
A residential solar system that is grid-tied offers numerous benefits, including savings on electricity bills and the use of a sustainable energy source. By harnessing the power of the sun, this system reduces power costs significantly for high day time power users.
Its key components, such as solar panels, inverters and utility meters, work seamlessly together to convert sunlight into usable electricity, allowing homeowners to take full advantage of renewable energy and contribute to a greener environment while enjoying long-term financial savings.
Homeowners may also have the opportunity to sell surplus residential energy to the grid, reducing costs and promoting a sustainable energy system.
Grid Tied System With Battery
A grid-tied system with a battery combines the advantages of using solar power during the day and storing excess energy for use during outages or after sundown. This setup is particularly beneficial in areas prone to power outages, especially when critical appliances need to operate continuously.
The system ensures uninterrupted power supply, reduces dependence on the grid, and harnesses clean energy, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Off Grid System
Off-grid solar systems are used in situations where there is no access to the traditional electrical grid or when it is not feasible or cost-effective to connect to the grid. These systems are designed to generate electricity independently, providing power in remote or rural areas.
Battery Ready Systems
Battery ready solar systems are designed to seamlessly integrate with energy storage solutions, providing homeowners with the flexibility to add a battery at a later date to store excess solar power for use during cloudy or nighttime periods.
