42 panel, 9 Kw solar system for Lyttelton Main School

What we did...

CPS Solar is proud to have just competed the installation of a 42 panel, 9 Kw solar energy system on the earthquake-hit Lyttelton Main School.As we all know, Lyttelton was hit hard by the quakes throughout 2010 and 2011 and it’s great to see institutions such as our schools embracing smart energy solutions for their repairs and development.  The school, on Oxford St. in Lyttelton, won a $50,000 grant in a competition run by Yealands Estate Winery for environmentally friendly initiatives.   We are delighted that they opted to use a significant portion of the grant for our solar energy scheme.

What it means to the School...

As well as providing great cost savings for the school, there are great educational benefits for the kids too.  The children are now able to see smart, clean energy production at first-hand and they can monitor and model real-time energy output and sunshine data from computers at the school.  We’ll be training our future energy consumers to make smart energy choices and help reduce NZ’s carbon footprint!

14 panel, 3.2Kw system for a family home

What we did...
We recently carried out an install for a residential client in Clyde, Central Otago.  The system comprises a 14-panel array on a family home and we believe it to be the first solar energy generation system in the township.
What it means for the family…
We expect the 3.2Kw system to provide the homeowner with 70-100% of their annual energy requirement.  So this solar system will mean a significant reduction in overheads for them...
What it means for the future...
This family has taken control of their own energy supply for the next 30-40 years.  All our Solar PV panels carry a 25 years warranty and it’s not unusual for them to be performing up to 40 years from installation.
Contact us now for more information on residential solar energy system like this one... See More...
Prebbleton, Canterbury
What we did…
This was a retrospective install for a private house in Prebbleton, Canterbury.  The owners opted for 12 x 230w solar PV panels with APS micro inverters.  We used our own CPS Solar Rail System (manufactured right here in Canterbury) which are flush-mounted and able to be colour-matched to different roof or frame types.
What it means to the family…
Our high-output solar panels mean the family will enjoy an immediate and dramatic drop in their grid energy bill.
The new micro-inverter technology they have opted for means that  each panel is controlled and monitored independently.
What it means for the future...
Use of a central-inverter avoids disproportionate output if panels become obscured by snow or leaf-drop,
etc.  So the output of the system is maximised for the long term.
Also, the system can easily be expanded using different panel sizes and outputs, should the owners wish to.
