Comments on the installation: "excellent"

Comments on the system performance: "Excellent. Power output as expected. Yes, big saving especially with change of provider, Pulse to Meridien"

Advice: "My wife and I are 80 and we installed the solar because, even though we may not live to see the system pay for itself, we view it as a transfer of capital which is recoverable when the house is sold; additionally we are insulate against the expected increase in power prices."

Rob, Blenheim, Marlborough

Review Date: 29/01/2023

Size: 7.8kW

Running for: 2 months

Expected return on investment: Did not calculate this.

Expected pay back period: Did not consider this

Comments on the installation: "Installers were very polite and took the best part of 3 days."

Comments on the system performance: "It performs very well and although we haven't had it long it will definitely reduce our power bills."

Advice: "Regardless of monetary value of the investment I think there are other reasons to consider solar. Potential black outs are one reason, likely power price increases is another and finally I think that resale value of our property will be affected positively."
