Our Services
Residential Solar Design & Installation
SolarNest conducts comprehensive site assessments—roof tilt, azimuth, shading analysis, and household load profiling—to tailor each system for maximum output. We install premium monocrystalline panels (380 W+) paired with smart micro‑ or string‑inverters that optimise performance module by module. Structural engineers evaluate roof integrity and manage all council permits for a hassle‑free process. Each installation integrates with our SolarNest App, offering real‑time production, consumption, and environmental-impact data at your fingertips. Backed by a 25‑year panel warranty and a 10‑year workmanship guarantee, your system delivers peace of mind and sustainable savings.
Commercial & Industrial Solar Solutions
We design large‑scale arrays for warehouses, shopping centres, schools, and farms—ranging from 50 kW to multi‑megawatt systems. Project managers coordinate with architects, structural engineers, and local councils, ensuring compliance with building codes and glare regulations. High‑resolution monitoring at both system and string levels enables rapid fault detection and maintenance scheduling. Financial modelling includes NZ’s Commercial Building Tax Incentive, EECA grants, and accelerated depreciation benefits—maximising return on investment. Our turnkey service covers design, procurement, installation, commissioning, and long‑term O&M.
Off‑Grid & Hybrid Microgrid Solutions
For remote properties and communities, SolarNest engineers self‑sufficient power systems combining PV arrays, battery banks, and backup generators. We offer modular lithium‑ion or flow‑battery storage solutions scaled from 10 kWh home backups to 200 kWh commercial systems. Integrated load‑management software optimises battery dispatch, generator start/stop thresholds, and demand‑response participation. Our microgrids feature black‑start capabilities for emergency resilience and can be expanded as needs grow. Each design includes training for local operators and detailed operational manuals.
Energy Storage & EV Charging Integration
Store excess solar generation in floor‑mounted or wall‑hung battery systems from Tesla Powerwall, LG Chem, or SimpliPhi. Combined solar plus storage setups deliver time‑of‑use arbitrage—charging during peak‑generation hours and discharging during high‑tariff periods. Our EV charger installations—from 7 kW home units to 50 kW fleet chargers—integrate seamlessly with PV arrays, enabling solar‑powered vehicle charging. Smart energy‑management controllers balance household demand, solar production, and EV loads to prevent grid export penalties. Comprehensive warranties and remote diagnostics keep systems running smoothly for years.
Efficiency Audits & Electrification Roadmaps
Our certified energy auditors perform thermal imaging, blower‑door tests, and end‑use power logging to identify inefficiencies in insulation, HVAC, and lighting. We recommend LED retrofits, heat‑pump hot‑water systems, and smart thermostats that align with your solar profile—reducing overall energy use by up to 50%. Electrification strategies replace fossil‑fuel appliances, unlocking higher self‑consumption rates and lower emissions. Detailed cost‑benefit analyses highlight eligibility for government rebates and low‑interest financing options. These holistic audits and roadmaps pave the way for carbon‑neutral operations.
Monitoring, Maintenance & Ongoing Support
SolarNest’s proprietary monitoring platform delivers 24/7 insights into system health, performance dips, and shading events via web or mobile dashboard. Automated alerts notify both you and our service team of inverter faults, deviation in expected output, or component degradation. Annual preventive maintenance packages include panel cleaning, inverter firmware updates, and electrical‑safety inspections. Our warranty‑management specialists handle claims with manufacturers directly, ensuring fast resolutions. Performance reports and ROI tracking keep you informed of savings milestones and system longevity.
