How much does Insta Quotes cost for a solar installer in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes plans are billed in AUD: Tier 1 $29 AUD, Tier 2 $59 AUD and Tier 3 $99 AUD a month. New accounts start with a free 7-day trial, capped at 7 quotes in total rather than per month, with no credit card required, so solar installers in New Zealand can quote before paying.
What should a New Zealand solar quote include?
Panels, inverter, mounting, the electrical work and the grid connection each go on their own line, with 15% GST shown separately alongside your NZBN and IRD GST number. Name the panel and inverter make, model and output, because that is what the client will use to compare three quotes, and state the array’s total kW and the expected annual generation with the assumption behind it. Include the EWRB-registered electrician and the Certificate of Compliance, and say clearly whether the lines company application and any meter change are in the price. Quote the roof penetrations and their weatherproofing as work, since that is where a solar install meets the roof’s job of keeping water out.
Is there a solar rebate in New Zealand?
No. This is the difference that most often confuses a client who has been reading Australian pricing. Australia has a federal small-scale certificate scheme that is usually deducted at the point of sale, so an Australian quote often shows a discounted figure. New Zealand has no national equivalent, so a New Zealand quote is the full installed price with nothing taken off. What varies here instead is what the client is paid for exported power, and that is set by their electricity retailer rather than by any scheme, with rates differing widely between retailers. Say so on the quote: price the system honestly, and point the client at their retailer for the buy-back rate rather than building a payback claim on a number you do not control.
Does the AI know New Zealand solar pricing?
Yes. Quotes are priced in NZD against current New Zealand rates for panels by output, string and hybrid inverters, mounting systems for tile, long-run and membrane roofs, battery storage, the electrical work and the lines company connection, with 15% GST applied rather than Australia’s 10%, and with no rebate deducted, because there is none to deduct. Array design references AS/NZS 5033, which applies here as it does across the Tasman.
Who has to sign off a solar installation in New Zealand?
The electrical work must be done by an electrician registered with the Electrical Workers Registration Board, who issues a Certificate of Compliance, and where the system connects to the network the local lines company has to approve the connection. Australia’s Clean Energy Council accreditation has no standing here. Which lines company depends on where the house is, and their application forms, timeframes and any fees differ by region, so the connection is worth quoting as a named line with its assumed timeframe rather than treated as paperwork. It is also the item most likely to delay a job, so telling the client up front that the connection sits with a third party protects the install date you have given them.
