Common questions
An annual clean and inspection should be done on your solar system to keep it performing at optimum levels. But I would recommend visually checking the solar panels and any sign of debris or anything that will affect the performance. When cleaning the panels do not use any harsh chemicals, a soft brush and some water is all that is required. If you are not confident about accessing your roof or solar array the team at Streamline Solar can put you on our annual maintenance contract and get it sorted for you.
Yes. Most of New Zealand’s big banks offer low or zero-interest green loans for solar, and Streamline Solar is a SEANZ member, which several of them ask for. Compare the finance options.
New Zealand is the perfect place to be harvesting and reusing energy or simply just benefiting from the cost savings that solar installations can bring. Most locations around New Zealand enjoy about 2,000 hours of sunshine each year and many receive more.
Your location and seasonal changes can affect how much power your system will produce. The orientation and angle of the panels can also have an effect on annual energy production. Placing panels in a north-facing direction is optimal, however placing panels on a west or east facing roof will still produce a substantial amount of power. In New Zealand, panels will not perform well if they face to the south. The tilt angle is also important to maximise the energy created from your panels. Most New Zealand homes have a roof pitch of 20° to 30° which in most situations is perfect. A minimum tilt of 5° to 10° is recommended to ensure self-cleaning by rainfall to help keep the system running at its best. A regular cleaning schedule is also recommended.

The cost of a solar system will depend on the system size you install. Streamline Solar will only design the system you need to fit your brief during the energy assessment.
Your solar system will first offset your home’s energy use and charge your battery’s if they are installed, if you are still tied into the main power grid, your excess solar generation will be sold back to your energy provider. The export rates can vary depending on which company you have chosen to supply your energy from 8c – 20c per kWh. As part of the solar design service Streamline will help you find the best energy provider to maximise your designed system.
