Why Solar and Batteries Are No Longer Optional in New Zealand
Explore how solar energy and battery storage can protect your home, business, and family when the grid can''t. Now is the time to invest in reliability, sustainability, and energy
New Zealand is committed to a clean energy future. But unless we pair renewables with storage, we're just replacing one fragile system with another. As more homes switch to electric heating, cooking, and vehicles, grid pressure increases. Battery-backed solar is not just a sustainability upgrade — it's an infrastructure safeguard.
ly, close to where it is used. It can also store local sources of generation, such as rooftop solar, and smooth out the impacts that variable generatio can have on the power system. Widespread, distributed storage could, and most probably will, fundamentally change the way that power systems
Grid voltage – The nominal AC grid voltage in New Zealand is 230V ± 6%. Should the grid voltage be excessive, it may cause a GTI to trip out, especially during times of high solar production. In these cases, it may be necessary to request that the EDB reduce the taps on the grid transformer to reduce the voltage.
ricity system will become) alongside variations in future gas supply.For each future year, the model used 43 hypothetical 'weather years' to test how the system would perform across the range of wet / dry, windy / calm, sunny / cloudy situations that New Zealand is likely to experience,
