Auckland company Waterware has been delivering quality in all things plumbing, central heating and cooling and bathroomware since 1989. As technical director Darren Yearsley says: "solar energy for a business application is perfect because we're using the majority of our energy during daylight hours. We're a warehousing operation and have a design studio and we're open from eight to five so it means if you have your system sized correctly then there's no need for storage and we just offset our normal power usage.

We pull from the grid when we need to and we put back into the grid when we have surplus so it means that the capital cost of the system is constrained as much as possible but the value added of the offsetting of our power bill really makes sense.

We were always interested in having a solar system and the barrier was the cost but when Jordan came and showed that it could be done in a cash flow neutral way then it just made total sense. The installation process went very smoothly and the team at Choice Energy did exactly what they said they were going to do and when they said they were going to do it. So yeah it was very very smooth and we're very happy.

We've had a reduction in power bills of 50 to 75 percent depending on the weather. That's fantastic for us and the cash flow projections Choice Energy did for us are working out as as they as expected. No regrets.
