What Solar Scout an accurate solar calculator for Kiwi homeowners?

Our smart tool uses local data and personalised details to give you a truly accurate solar estimate. Here's how:

We measure your actual roof space We calculate how many panels will realistically fit on your roof, no guesses, no inflated savings.

We simulate real-world panel placement Your estimate accounts for roof angle, sun direction, and shading. The same logic is used by professional solar designers.

We use up-to-date NZ power rates Our tool pulls live pricing from major NZ power companies, including your plan and buy-back rate if available.

We factor in how and when you use power We model your energy use across the day and seasons, not just annual averages, to give you realistic savings, especially if you're on a time-of-use or day/night plan.
