Harnessing The Sun's Free Energy

Jul 27, 2021

Harnessing The Sun's Free Energy 

It’s more than a glowing ball in the sky - the sun is the biggest energy source ever and it’s hanging right above our heads.

With such power to draw from, it's no wonder that solar technology is a growing industry: one that’s becoming more affordable and popular for New Zealand households.

Plug into the sun’s power today with Christchurch Electrical Solar: the new solar department of this trusted Canterbury electrical company.

Providing a comprehensive solar service, the team will guide you through the process: right from providing a free consultation and quote, to design, installation and maintenance.

Christchurch Electrical Solar notes that if solar energy generation is being used first in your household, your electricity bill will be reduced, as you will only draw additional energy from the grid when required.

Something to consider when choosing solar is adjusting your lifestyle to use more power during the day, when the sun is out. Changing times for washing, showering, charging appliances, etc. from evenings/night will have you relying on solar power more than drawing from the grid.

Solar provides energy savings for households that use a significant portion of their solar generation. Your cost savings will depend on a variety of elements; how much your electricity costs, how much of your solar generation you use and how much power your system generates.

With Christchurch receiving an average of 2136.0 hours of sunlight per year, it’s really a no-brainer to plug into this renewable, free energy source. Depending on your solar panel and storage system, it could also add value to your home.

If you are considering solar energy, upgrading your system or would like a maintenance visit, talk to Christchurch Electrical today.

For all electrical and solar services tel: 033661718 , or pop into 53a Montreal Street, Sydenham, Christchurch.
