Solar System Review: Ivan, Rodney, Auckland

Review Date: 04/07/2026

Size: 10kW

Running for: 2 weeks

Expected return on investment: hard to tell at this point.

Expected pay back period: 9 years.

Comments on the installation: "Harrison's were respectful and asked before cutting holes and routing lines etc. Accepted the instructions for location and made it work. Looks good, tidy. Took 2.5 days incl new CB panel. "

Comments on the system performance: "I was using 30-35kWh a day from grid, so far in winter we are at 6kWh a day from grid. Sunny days we overall export."

Advice: "Carl Williams and the lads from Harrison's were great. I got this system for energy security first, bills second. We've already not noticed a 3 hour cut out neighbours were frustrated with. I expect the grid to worsen with more cars and people but no new dams. Get solar now. "
