Solar Panel Installation for Homes
Solar panel installation for residential properties in Wellington allows homeowners to generate their own electricity, reduce reliance on the grid, and lower long-term power costs. Each system is designed around your household’s energy use, roof orientation, and site conditions, with installation carried out by qualified electricians to ensure safety, performance, and compliance.
Residential solar systems are ideal for homeowners who want to:
- Reduce monthly electricity bills using clean, renewable energy
- Make better use of daytime power generation
- Add long-term value to their property
- Prepare for future battery storage or electric vehicle charging
SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION FOR BUSINESSES
Commercial solar panel installation helps Wellington businesses control energy costs, improve sustainability, and protect against rising electricity prices. Systems are designed to align with operating hours and power demand, allowing businesses to use more of the energy they generate on-site while maintaining a reliable grid connection.
Business solar installations are well suited to organisations looking to:
- Lower overheads by offsetting daytime power usage
- Improve environmental credentials and meet sustainability goals
- Increase energy resilience for offices, workshops, and commercial sites
- Invest in infrastructure that delivers long-term operational savings
Is Solar worth it in wellington?
Solar power works well in Wellington, even with variable weather and cooler temperatures. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than heat, which means they continue producing energy throughout the year, including winter months. While output can vary day to day, a well-designed system can significantly reduce reliance on the grid and lower long-term electricity costs.
For many Wellington homes and businesses, the value of solar comes from using the energy you generate during the day and exporting surplus power back to the grid. When systems are designed around local conditions and realistic energy usage, solar can provide reliable savings over time and greater control over future power costs.
Designing the Right Solar System for Your Property
Every property in Wellington has different energy needs, roof layouts, and usage patterns. Designing the right solar power system means balancing performance, efficiency, and long-term flexibility. At Weka Electrical, we design systems that suit how you use electricity today while allowing for future upgrades.
System size and energy usage
The right system size depends on how much electricity you use and when you use it. By reviewing your usage patterns, we design solar systems that maximise on-site energy use and deliver practical savings without oversizing.
Battery-ready system design
Not every property needs batteries straight away. We design solar installations that allow for battery storage to be added later, giving you flexibility as technology improves or your energy needs change.
Designed for future growth
Many properties plan to add electric vehicles, heat pumps, or additional equipment over time. We design solar power systems that can scale, helping protect your investment and support future energy demands.

Wellington-Specific Installation Considerations
Solar installations in Wellington need to account for local environmental and structural factors to ensure long-term performance and safety. Before any installation, it’s important to assess how wind exposure, roof construction, and compliance requirements may affect your system. This ensures your solar setup is not only efficient, but also built to withstand local conditions.
Wind Exposure and Secure Mounting
Wellington is known for strong and variable winds, which makes correct mounting critical. Solar panels must be securely fixed using systems designed for local wind zones to protect both the panels and your roof over the long term.
Roof Structure and Site Suitability
Roof material, pitch, orientation, and overall condition all influence how solar panels are installed. A proper assessment ensures your roof can support the system safely and that panels are positioned to achieve the best possible energy generation.
Compliance and Local Requirements
Solar installations must meet New Zealand electrical standards, and some properties may have additional council considerations. Understanding these requirements early helps avoid delays and ensures your system is installed correctly and certified from the outset.
