AI summary

Rooftop solar can significantly cut your power bills, paying for itself in approximately 8 years and providing free energy for 20+ years. A medium-sized system costs around $10,000 and can meet about half of an average household's energy needs.

Panels have a 25-30 year lifespan and work well throughout New Zealand. Grid-tied systems allow you to sell excess power back to retailers. Professional installation is required. Use the Gen Less online calculators to estimate your potential savings.
