About Vital Solar
Vital Solar was founded by Cameron Dick, a forward-thinking Kiwi with a passion for learning more about renewable energy. Whenever possible, he attends conferences overseas to understand what is happening in other regions in the renewable energy sector. Cam has a genuine interest in educating people about what we can do to move away from using fossil fuels.
Cam is an electrician by trade and is also the founder and director of Vital Electrical Ltd, a successful business he started 10 years ago. With a strong team of 7 experienced electricians and solar panel system installers, Vital has become a reputable brand known for providing innovative products and no-nonsense service for residential clients as well as some of Auckland’s biggest companies.
At Vital, we get excited about renewable energy and ways to implement energy-smart systems in your home or business. It’s the way of the future and we are continuously looking for ways to educate people about renewables.
We’re not hardcore greenies. We don’t preach environmentalism. But we do believe we all have a responsibility and an opportunity to do a little bit each day to look after our planet.
Solar is an opportunity worth looking into. You can start small if that’s all you can manage right now – it’s all good.

The Vital Solar Difference
Other solar panel suppliers will sell you a product and then put you in touch with an installation company. They’re two separate entities who both need to add a margin to their sales.
Vital Solar does things differently.
As experienced, licensed electricians we source the best product for your specific needs, design the system that will work best for your home or workplace, and then do the installation ourselves.
We deal directly with you through the entire process and remain available for ongoing assistance to make sure you fully understand how to get the best results from your system.
Why Installation is So Important
The reason we place so much emphasis on working with an in-house installation team is because they’re the people you really have the relationship with. They’re the team that you trust to work on your property.
Because Vital Solar installs the products we sell, we’re the ones who will educate you about how your solar energy system works. We’re the people you can call weeks, months, years down the road when you have a question about your solar panels or microinverter.
Too many companies sell solar panels and then claim to manage the installation themselves. If you ask them about their installers, you’ll learn that this work is subcontracted out or that labour hire teams are used.
With Vital Solar, you’re speaking directly with the same people from start to finish. Nothing gets lost in translation. No one changes phone numbers and is impossible to track down. No one adds an installation margin.
Rest assured that with Vital Solar, the team that does the initial consultation at your property will also be the team that installs your energy system.

Carly & Hannah Van Winkel2024-05-06After researching the market thoroughly, I settled on Vital to install our home PV system in 2022 and they did a very neat and professional job. Good assistance in working with the local lines company and excellent support in bedding in the control and monitoring systems. They know their stuff.Grant Forsyth2024-03-22I've had the Enphase System now for a little over a year and I am just sorry I didn't get it installed sooner. We got 20 panels installed and glad we did that to make the most of whatever energy we are able to capture and use. Although I haven't changed the way in which I use electricity in the home, I have been able to see where I can maximize the solar energy and use it when I can although any extra is fed back to the grid (albeit at a piddly rate). Installation was seamless and the after sales service and support to change electricity service providers and respond to questions is second to none. Great service provided by the team at Vital Solar!!!Maggie WINTERSTEIN2024-03-19We heard about Vital Solar from a friend (a crusty old engineer who knows about stuff!) and he recommended them. We’re chuffed with the small system they did for us. Excellent service, convincing products and serious after sales service. Good work Cam and team! Many thanks.neil keating2024-03-06We selected Vital Solar for our PV solar install because Cam was the only one to come to our place to view the site and wiring prior to quoting, which gave us confidence in their approach. The Enphase system was also recommended to me by a longstanding friend who is an electrician and Enphase also undertake some of their R&D in Christchurch with students from the University of Canterbury. On the whole, we were really impressed with Maryann, Cam and the team from Vital Solar and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in installing solar to their property.Craig Campbell2024-02-23Very happy with the service we got from Vital Solar. Even though they are not the original installer of our pannels, they were happy to replace a failed Micro Inverter, and provided extended afterservice when problems had to be resolved. I would highly recommend using their servicesChris Gelderman2024-02-14These guys supply a superior product and were the only ones to come and see us to have a look. They are very personable and kept us fully informed throughout the entire process. They personally install the panels and set up the power. Cam was great to deal with on site and Maryann was prompt with keeping us up to date and organising the inspector and power company. I was impressed in the way they left everything tidy and clean. We are very happy with our drop in power bills. They also have great after sales service. Would thoroughly reccomend Vital Solar.Gary Lane2024-01-17Can't recommend this team more. We were nightmare customers (not they they would every tell us) with more questions than you can imagine and they were patient, accommodative and nothing was ever an issue. Even after the installation they are still there to help whenever we need. Truely the best.Mark Collins2024-01-12We were virtually clueless when we started exploring Solar . Contacted a few companies including Vital Solar . We were so impressed from the outset with Maryanne responding to our myriad questions quickly & patiently . We decided to accept Cam & Maryanne’s offer to do a site visit to fully understand our requirements before quoting ( they were the only company to do this ) On receipt of the detailed quote there were still further questions from us . Never once were we fobbed off or made to feel stupid . We accepted the quote & the installation was pretty seamless after that . On go live , Cam & Maryanne did a detailed handover . Nothing has been too much trouble , their whole team have been friendly & professional . Cannot recommend Vital Solar highly enough - we are very pleased with the decision to go with them !J G2023-11-21Excellent workmanship and what a fantastic crew. Thanks to the entire crew for making it so easy to get solar panels installed. Would highly recommend going with them.Jayakantha Vijayakumar2023-11-20
