Designed to earn
Most solar saves money. Ours can make it.
With most retailers, exported solar earns a capped flat buy-back. As your retailer and installer, we do it differently: your surplus sells on the wholesale spot market at the real price of power.
Exports earn the full spot price
On our spot market plan there's no capped buy-back rate. Every unit your roof exports earns the live wholesale price — and when prices spike, that can be many times a typical flat buy-back.
Oversizing pays
Because surplus generation is income rather than waste, a bigger array often has a better return. We design systems to export more than they import — exactly the profile spot billing rewards.
Batteries buy low, sell high
Store cheap midday solar (or cheap overnight grid power), run your home through the expensive evening peak, and sell the rest when the market pays most.
Watch it earn, live
The Ecosmart app shows your generation, exports and the live spot price — so you can see your system paying you back in real time.
Actual savings and earnings depend on your system size, your household's usage patterns and wholesale spot prices — which are volatile and can fall as well as rise. Before you buy, we model your specific property and give you honest numbers, not just the best case.

FAQ
Solar questions, answered straight
Pricing, warranties, batteries and how solar pairs with spot market power.
How much do solar panels cost in New Zealand?
Ecosmart solar systems start from $5,995 including GST for a professionally installed 6-panel grid-connected system. Larger 12-panel, 20-panel and battery systems are priced on application. Every system includes installation, a 25 year panel warranty and a 10 year inverter warranty.
Does Ecosmart install solar throughout New Zealand?
Yes. Ecosmart is a New Zealand owned and operated solar installer and electricity retailer, and we install solar for homes and businesses nationwide.
What warranty comes with Ecosmart solar systems?
Every Ecosmart solar installation includes a 25 year solar panel warranty and a 10 year inverter warranty, with professional installation included.
Can I add a battery for energy independence?
Yes. Our Mr Independent system pairs a full solar array with home battery storage so you can run on your own power day and night while staying connected to the grid. On a spot market plan, a battery also lets you store cheap power and sell it back when prices spike.
Why combine solar with an Ecosmart electricity plan?
On our spot market plan you are paid the full wholesale price for every unit you export, with no capped buy-back rate. Selling surplus electricity on the spot market can deliver a strong return, so a well-sized (or oversized) system can earn real income — retailer and installer under one roof. Actual returns depend on your system, your usage and wholesale spot prices, which are volatile.
Should I oversize my solar system?
If you join our spot market electricity plan, often yes. Because exports earn the full wholesale spot price, surplus generation is income rather than waste. We design systems so you export more than you import, which is exactly the profile a spot plan rewards.
