Solar Panel Installation in Kapiti Coast

Sunny inland Kapiti roofs suit solar well. On beachside homes we choose mounting hardware and fixings that suit the salt exposure, and check the roof's remaining life first.

Solar Panel Installation on Kapiti Coast roofs

Sunnier inland Kapiti roofs suit solar well. We check the roof first, and on beachside homes we make sure the mounting hardware and fixings suit the coastal exposure.

Solar panels stay on a roof for a long time. That makes the roof under them part of the solar decision. Fit an array onto iron with a few years left and you will pay to lift it off for the re-roof.

Many Kapiti homes were built as beach houses and later extended, so we see mixed roofs, older iron next to newer additions, and junctions between them that need careful flashing.

BRANZ describes solar panels fixed through the roof cladding to the rafters or purlins as the standard approach, and a re-roof as a good time to add them. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)

What to look for

• Roof condition and expected remaining life
• Orientation, pitch and shading
• Framing and fixing points for the mounting rails

Every job follows the same steps: we look at the roof, photograph what we find, send a written quote, then send photos of the finished work. More about solar Panel Installation.
