Solar Panels ~ New Zealand

In New Zealand we are lucky to have plenty of sunshine hours. Therefore it makes sense to utilise the abundant supply of solar energy available to create electricity. Solar power is an extremely cost-effective solution, providing a clean, environmentally friendly, and most importantly, renewable energy resource.

The process of converting solar energy into electricity is called photovoltaics. This is achieved by using solar panels, which are flat and made up of many individual solar cells that convert light from the sun into power.

Solar Electricity ~ a cost-effective alternative power solution

Genkit solar panels can be utilised to supplement existing power in a domestic situations, or for use in large-scale commercial operations.

Creating Solar Power ~ How it works

A basic off-grid system for residential use consists of a renewable energy source, which generates DC power, charges a battery bank that stores this power, and an inverter. The Genkit inverter is the intelligent centre of a renewable energy system, seamlessly converting DC power to clean and reliable AC electricity for your needs.

In a commercial situation, large scale photovoltaic (PV) systems are made up of numerous cells assembled in panel frameworks, which collect energy from the Sun. Inverters then turn the DC power that is produced by the panels into AC power for conventional use.

Cost-effective Solar Energy

Solar electricity can be an extremely cost-effective power solution. As most places in NZ have abundant sunshine hours, Genkit's off-grid and supplementary power solutions almost always include a solar panel framework.
