Why do off-grid solar systems cost so much?
Off-grid solar systems typically come with a heftier upfront price tag, often costing two to three times more than a grid-connected setup. Why? To ensure 24/7 reliability without the safety net of the grid, and off-grid system needs to be much larger than a grid connect system, i.e. more solar panels and more battery storage.
Why does New Zealand have a small off-grid Solar System?
It’s because different areas around New Zealand have varying official sunshine hours according to NIWA. You can read more in our latest article “Off Grid Solar For Dummies”. The PS: Tiny off grid system only comes with six solar panels (2.58kW total). This will not be sufficient for many locations around Aotearoa.
