Whether you need a bespoke off-grid system or a hybrid system with EV charging, we can deliver
Seeking the independence of being off-grid? Is it going to be expensive to install a grid connection?
An off-grid solar system gives you the independence and, in many instances, is a cost effective alternative to the grid.
Since it was established in 2006, Current Generation has specialised in providing off-grid power solutions to its customers.
We are the one-stop shop, not only will we design and install the primary system, we also stock and install back-up generators.
We also regularly upgrade existing hydro, wind or solar installations to increase capacity and improve reliability.
For many of us, grid-tie (having solar that integrates seamlessly with a grid connection) is the best, most cost-effective option.
With the improvement in the affordability, efficiency and quality of solar technology, a grid-tie system makes financial sense over the lifetime of the system for almost any lifestyle.
A grid-tie system will prioritise your own household energy needs (including hot water or EV charging).
Any excess produced can then be sold back to an energy retailer for up to 17c per kWh (Meridian Solar Plan – Feb 2024).
A grid-tie system also provides you with some security against future energy prices.
Shelter from the Storm!
Arguably the best of all worlds for energy security, day-to-day you have both the grid and solar feeding your household power needs, but if the grid goes out, you carry on with the PV solar and batteries continuing to operate.
The inclusion of a battery in a grid-tie system allows you to maximise the use of the power you generate, and switch to an independent system if the grid fails you.
The likes of the Fronius Gen24 series of inverters, matched with the BYD HV line of battery, provides an elegant solution to increasing your self-sufficiency and security.
Current Generation is a SEANZ (Sustainable Energy Association of New Zealand) Authorised Provider. With an installation from us you should have some great finance options available to you.
All New Zealand’s major banks offer low or zero interest loans.
We were confused about making a decision on buying a grid-tie solar system. After talking to a few different companies we felt like we were talking to sales people, we went to Current Generation and spoke to Arny and the boys, they spent time explaining the choices and returns, they answered all our questions making the whole process pretty easy. Current Generation are friendly and professional, our solar system is performing better than we expected.
The team at Current Generation know their stuff! A rather complex 3 phase installation including a large solar array, battery storage and EV charging was installed in a new "all electric" home in Richmond. Mike, Lee and Luke are a credit to the renewable energy industry. I would have no hesitation in recommending Current Generation for your own project. Quality workmanship and the best equipment!
