Why Solar

Power Bills Keep Climbing.
Solar Pays You Back.

Whether it's a Waikato home, farm or business, the story's the same. Power keeps getting dearer. A properly designed solar system turns that rising bill into long-term savings.

Power Keeps Going Up

Power prices climb every year, home, farm or business alike.

You Use Power in the Day

Homes, farms and businesses use the bulk of their power during the day, right when solar works hardest.

Hot Water and Heating

Hot water and heating are big loads, whether it's a house, a dairy shed or a workshop.

Daytime Demand

Farms and businesses run pumps, chillers and gear hard through the day.

The Approach

Solar Built Around
How You Actually Use Power

We don't just slap panels on a roof. We look at how your place actually uses power through the day, then design a system so you use more of your own solar on-site instead of selling it for cents.

Your Power Use vs Solar Across a Typical Day

Your Usage
Solar Output

Use More of Your Own Solar the more of your solar you use on-site, the better the return. We design around when your home, farm or business actually draws power.

Benefits

What Solar Actually Does for Waikato Homes, Farms and Businesses

Done right, solar is a proper system that pays for itself over time, then keeps paying.

Lower Power Bills

Make your own power when you use it most, and buy less from the grid.

Better Daytime Use

Homes, farms and businesses all use power through the day, just when your panels work hardest.

Battery-Ready

Every system we fit is set up so you can add a battery now or later, as prices drop and your needs change.

See It On Your Phone

Track power made, used and saved from your phone. You always know how it's going.

We Don't Vanish

We're based in the Waikato and we stick around to look after your system long after install.

Local Crew

When you need a hand, we're a phone call and a short drive away, not a call centre in another city.

Why 2E Electrical

Your Local Electrician,
Before and After the Install

We're 2E Electrical, a local electrical contractor. We design, fit and look after solar systems right across the Waikato. We're not here to flog you panels and vanish. We stick around.

Registered Electricians

We're qualified electricians. Every system is designed, fitted and signed off by our electrical team working to NZ standards.

We Do the Whole Job

We do it all ourselves. Design, install, inverter setup and commissioning. We don't farm out the important bits.

Local Back-Up

We look after your system long after the panels go up. If something needs sorting, you're talking to the same local crew who put it up, not a call centre.

Homes, Sheds and Businesses

From family homes to dairy sheds and commercial roofs, we've fitted solar across the lot in the Waikato.

Built Around Your Power Bill

We design around how your place actually uses power, not a one-size-fits-all kit. That means more of your own solar used on-site and a better return.

Why Dairy Farms Are Ideal For Solar

Dairy Farms Are Perfect
For Solar

Dairy farms burn most of their power in daylight, which makes them a cracking fit for solar. Milking sheds, vacuum pumps, milk cooling, water pumps, chillers, hot water and washdown all run hard right when the sun's up.

A properly designed dairy shed solar system cuts what you pull from the grid, uses more of your own solar, and saves you money for years, all while the farm ticks over as normal. Farm solar in Waikato has never been better value.

Milk Cooling

Your chiller runs hard after every milking, chewing through daytime power.

Vacuum Pumps

Big-draw vacuum pumps run for hours each milking.

Water Pumps

Irrigation, stock water and effluent pumps run all day.

Hot Water

Shed hot water is one of the biggest single loads on the farm.

Refrigeration

Vat cooling and on-farm chillers keep drawing power through the day.

Washdown

High-pressure washdown gear draws power during and after every milking.

02

A solar design built around your usage, roof and plans, set up battery-ready if you want it.

03

Quote

A clear quote with system size, expected power and savings. No pressure, no hidden costs.

04

Installation

Fitted by our qualified crew, booked around your home, your milking or your business hours so it barely gets in the way.

05

Commissioning

Full testing, grid connection and sign-off to NZ standards before we hand it over.

06

Ongoing Back-Up

We set up monitoring, then stick around. The same local crew is here for years to come.

Finance Options

There May Be a Green Loan to Help

Some NZ banks offer low-interest green loans for things like solar. That can let you go solar with little upfront and start saving from day one.

We can point you the right way and give you the paperwork banks usually want. Ask us when we come out.

Farm / Commercial example
Typical monthly saving
$1,200 to $3,000+
Solar offset
Typical self-use
40 to 60%

These are just a guide. Real savings depend on your usage and system design.

Optional Add-On

Go a Step Further With ESCOUT

Once your solar's up, ESCOUT is an optional add-on we're building to show you how power moves round your place, how your system's going, and where you could save more. It's for folk who want a bit more detail over time. You don't need it to go solar.

See Where Power Goes

See what's chewing the juice, hot water, pumps, chillers, shed gear.

See How It's Going

Keep an eye on your solar and big loads day to day, not just at install.

Use More of Your Solar

Figure out how to shift loads so more of your solar gets used on-site.

Catch Issues Early

Spot something playing up before it costs you.

ESCOUT's still in the works. It'll be an option once your solar's up.
