Life moments
Key life moments, like replacing your roof, buying an electric car, or adding a hot tub, can be ideal times to go solar. By aligning solar installation with these changes, you save on costs, meet new energy needs, and maximise long-term benefits, making the transition both smart and sustainable.
Re Roofing
Reroofing is an ideal time to add solar panels, as both projects involve similar structural work. By combining them, you reduce installation costs and ensure your roof is ready to support solar for years to come, making the upgrade more efficient and cost-effective.
High return on investment
Solar offers a high return on investment by reducing monthly energy bills and protecting against rising electricity costs. Over time, the savings often surpass the initial cost, making solar a smart financial choice that adds long-term value to your property.
New Car
Getting a new car, especially an electric one, is a great time to consider solar. With solar panels, you can power your vehicle with clean energy, cutting charging costs and reducing your carbon footprint—saving money while driving sustainably.
High Energy Use
If you're a high energy user, adding solar can significantly offset your electricity bills. Solar panels generate consistent power, reducing reliance on the grid and lowering costs, making it easier to manage the demands of energy-intensive appliances and lifestyle upgrades.
