Solar power for your home
Installing solar power for your home is an easy way to reduce your energy bills and increase the value of your property.
How does solar power work?
Benefits of using solar power
- Less dependency on the national energy grid (which is vital as power prices continue to increase by around 5% a year)
- Save up to 80% per year on your power bills
- Significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your property
- Keep your systems running during power outages by adding batteries to your system and maximising your system’s storage capacity
- Generate approximately 10% ROI on your solar power system
- Increase the overall value of your property
- Power your home using clean energy
- Build up energy credits while you’re away
We get it – introducing a new system brings about questions and possibly a bit of hesitancy.
We’re here to answer any questions you have. We’re more than happy to sit down and look at the specifics for your particular property – how much energy you use and how introducing solar energy to your property would reduce your power bills.
We pride ourselves on being educators, not salespeople.
Brands we supply
We are proud to supply and install brands of solar panels and systems that are innovative, reliable and made by companies that share our ethical work standards.
Everything we supply and install can be traced back to companies with extensive ESG strategies – organisations that are trying to rid the mining and manufacturing sectors of child labour and slavery.
Because all of the products we supply and install come with a 25 year warranty, there’s no need to worry about parts wearing out and ending up in landfill.
We work with Enphase, SunPower and Schletter because of their superior quality, the suitability of their products for the New Zealand environment, and their ethical production and labour practices.
Most Enphase products are designed and tested in Christchurch, NZ. So while they’re an American company, their New Zealand lab employs 120 engineers. The product is exceptional, with flexible and scalable microinverters that ensure continuous solar production with no single point of failure.
Established in 1985 in Silicon Valley, SunPower has been developing and refining solar panels and systems for decades. They now produce some of the highest performing panels on the market.
German engineered solar mounting systems from a company that has been around since 1968. Schletter aluminium is mined in Australia to ensure they are not enabling any modern slavery practices.

From the start, Maryann was extremely helpful and communicative! Cam was very knowledgeable and explained how everything worked. We had a great experience with Vital Solar and would recommend them to anyone!
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
