Hey All,

Appreciate all the suggestions for solar installers in Christchurch, and we've had a handful around.

The jist that I am getting, and slightly disappointingly as we are invested into heading down the renewables route, that, Butyonol roofs are a bit of a prick. Which I find odd, as there seem to be many around that have had solar installed.

Further to that of course, and you can see from our picture is - our metered mains is in the garage and the likely position is the two top roof lines. Again, a conduit down that north flank (which is non visual) should be pretty easy?

I know there is more cost involved versus a single story A frame lol, but, is there anywhere out there with this type of build that have had it done? Installers - thoughts?

Cheers!

Hey all,

I have seen that, previous to this post, there has been some chatter about installers and products in Christchurch.

We are very heavy users of power. Large home, 4 people, I work from home. We use approximately 12000-14000kwh per year and have a average power bill of $500 a month (I know, I know lol).

We are commited to making energy changes and, we have ditched gas (prettt much) and installing a hot water heatpump next week.

We have an architectural home in Cashmere with flat butonoyl roof. I know this isn't an issue, but understand that a roofer would have to do some pre setup before panels are placed.

We have three roof lines/areas essentially but, the rear roof would be best for asethetic.

One more thing to note is, we have a eGolf.

What has been everyone's experience and recommdations on companies to go with?

We are commited to making the change and would move quickly!

TIA!
