What We Do
Some of the ways NZRR can help you save money and reduce your dependence on fossil fuels:
Solar Photovoltaics (PV)
Also called solar electricity, this proven technology will enable you to make and use your own electricity, as well as sell the excess to your power company (grid-tie system), store it at your location for later use (battery backup system), or do both (hybrid system).
Battery Backup (BBU)
Batteries are what store energy from a solar array or the grid for later use. This can be the primary source of power for an off-grid system, or can be used to power loads at night (called self-consumption), or can simply be for backup when the grid fails. Our current recommendations for the latest lithium batteries use the very safe Lithium Ferro-Phosphate chemistry (LiFePo) and are self-heated so they can operate in cold temperatures.
Solar Hot Water (SHW)
This technology uses the sun to make hot water for domestic use or for space heating. These systems are comprised of a collector (flat-plate or evacuated tube), a storage tank, and a heat exchanger. The collector is mounted on the roof, and the storage tank is located near your home hot water tank. The two are connected in such a way as to allow the pre-heated water from the sun to flow into your domestic hot water tank. While this is still a legitimate way to produce hot water, we have found that it is more cost-effective to install a solar electric system (PV) and a heat pump water heater instead, which also eliminates the leak potential and maintenance requirements of solar hot water systems.
Raised Garden Beds and Greenhouse Kits
We are pleased to provide raised garden bed kits and greenhouse kits to compliment the garden beds. See details for the raised bed kits here and the greenhouse kits here.
