We’re excited to partner with Sonnen to offer their range of AC Coupled Energy Storage Solutions to our customer network throughout New Zealand. Sonnen is a global leader in AC Coupled lithium battery systems meaning that every Sonnen Battery comes with the experience of 20,000 installed systems – built into each unit, the newest technology for highest independence and maximum longevity. All in a compact case that offers maximum flexibility thanks to its modular design.

The Sonnen Battery is a complete system – ready for connection. This means that inside of every Sonnen Battery you’ll find not only the extremely durable battery modules but also an inverter, an intelligent energy manager, measurement technology and the software to operate it all smoothly. All in one handy box. In contrast to most other battery systems in the market, the Sonnen Battery components are built into a single high-quality casing and perfectly attuned to each other – thereby ensuring longevity and maximum quality with a small footprint.

Available in a range of sizes from 6kWh to 16kWh, the Sonnen Battery Energy Storage System can be expanded at any time by adding 2kWh modules. Up to 16kWh of storage can be added into the first system and a additional systems can be cascaded – allowing up to 48kWh of energy storage. The Sonnen system isn’t just a battery, it’s also an energy management system that can switch your appliances on/off via automatic operation or manually via the Sonnen iOS or Android App.

Promotion Flyer 5 Plus 5 year warrantyFronius put their inverters through their paces to ensure the highest possible quality standards, and that’s why we’re able to offer a Ten Year Warranty out the box.

Did you know that Fronius tests far more than what is required by national and international specifications? The electrical properties are verified, the inverter’s behaviour on the power grid is tested, the efficiency is measured, and the mechanical strength under transport loads is tested. The behaviour of inverters is also tested in tough environments to demonstrate how the devices react to various environmental conditions such as water, dust, salt, and temperature.

We want you to relax in the knowledge that a Fronius inverter is a high quality inverter, built to last. However, we understand the importance of a robust warranty for peace of mind, which is why we are extending our 10 year warranty on all Fronius SnapINverters until June 30, 2018.

We’re proud to announce Garo EV Chargers as a new addition to our product suite.

The Garo Electric Vehicle Chargers have been specifically developed for the safe and efficient charging of electrical vehicles at home or the office. Available standard as a 32Amp version, they can be easily adjusted to a 16Amp output via a selectable dip-switch.

Features include:

A Wellington based Solar PV Installer recently increased his self-consumption from 29% to 80% by installing our Elios 3kW Power Reducers to control his hot water cylinder.

The system comprises a Fronius Primo 3.0 Single Phase Inverter with Fronius Smart Meter and 2.2kW of Jinko 260W PV Modules. Doug Herbert from Greenco Solutions installed his PV system into his own home in the middle of April, he monitored it for two weeks and on the 1st of May he installed the Elios Standalone 3kW Power Reducer to control his hot water cylinder and heat it by diverting surplus PV generation into the tank while he’s not home.

The result? Doug has increased his average self-consumption from a modest 29% to a whopping average exceeding 80%! Take a look at the pics below for the proof.

Storage is not all about batteries, energy diversion is the most cost effective ways to store your surplus PV energy. If you’re not offering load control and heating solutions as part of your standard Solar PV Solution it’s about time you contacted us to learn about how our Elios suite of products can add some serious value to your customers PV systems.
