“Gerry from Solar Options was given the task of installing a Solar powered system on our lifestyle block that is totally off-grid. At the time we were only living in a small cabin, he was asked to supply a system that we could add to when our house was built. We have since built our new house and Solar Options added more panels and batteries, then took the power down to the man-cave. Since then, Gerry has also made up a small solar powered system to light up my chook house, to provide the 16 hours of light a day hens need to lay an egg. My egg production increased ten fold; this has worked a treat. Back-up service has been exceptional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone to Solar Options. I will never have a power bill again.”

Reduced Power Bill - “Hey Gerry…got a power bill this week and WOW haven’t had a bill under $100 since before kids and the oldest is 18. Solar is awesome.”

“ I  have had Solar Options solar hot water evacuated tubes on my cow-shed for a number of years. It was Gerry’s first project on a Dairy hot water system for plant and vat wash and he seemed to get it dead on with the amount of tubes to heat the cylinders above and beyond 8 degrees, which is needed. He has been very approachable and only too ever to iron out any problems we have had in understanding the system.”

“We are very happy with our new solar hot water heating system. Gerry made sure we had the right size system and hot water storage to suit the use of our household and our needs. In fact we have enough surplus hot water heating for much of the year from the tubes on the roof heating the spa pool also. Installation was pretty streamlined with other things we were doing to the house at the time. Gerry knows his products pretty well and we are very happy that we could call him if we had any concerns or queries

“Gerry from Solar Options designed and installed our off-grid system, excellent service all round. I cant fault the after sales care. The system works wonderfully. If you are considering solar, I would recommend Solar Options.”

“Regarding the solar, I was impressed with all aspects of the installation at the beginning your assessment as to what could be achieved, what would be required, the cost and the cost benefits. Also there was some added advice such as the replacement of the water cylinder and the proposal to put in as big possible cylinder. So if I was to enlarge the panel capacity or put in a storage battery I would be wanting to chat to you and get you and your team to do the job. Prior to installation of the solar system in 2014 our electricity costs averaged 214 per month after installation average for 2015 was $77 per month, in 2016 $112 per month, in 2017 $134 per month, latest figures for electricity in November $111, December $66 and January $78 - but remember we have the electricity usage in one of the cars, before we put in Solar I was driving a Toyota Highlander and using $100 to $120 per week in petrol, since putting in solar, I spend about $100 or less a month on petrol and these figures relate to all driving carried out. The electric car gives me 4.1 litres per 100 kilometres (total mileage to date) just under 40,000 kms) where as the Highlander was using 11.9 litres per 100 kms. These are overall figures including all travel such as trips to Whangarei, New Plymouth and Wellington. So financially I am happy regarding the initial installation costs.”
