Our own team designs, installs and hands over every system. We know how each one was built, and we’re accountable for it long term.

A question we get asked a lot by clients is, **“Do solar panels withstand the wind in windy Wellington?”**

Wellington uses standard New Zealand wind zone classifications, defined under the NZS 3604:2011 standard, to determine building and structural requirements.

When you’re installing solar in high-wind zones, this affects the distances between L-brackets, exclusion zones and, in some instances, requires additional support rails.

On this Ngaio job in the video, Alex is talking about the home being in an SED wind zone, which is the highest of the six standard wind zones, with wind speeds over 55 m/s.

The project will need engineering sign-off checking our brackets, railings and exlusion zones ensuring the system will safely resist the wind uplift.

Another Project Complete

Big Thanks to Sivad Electrical on the Collaboration

We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but even more excited about where we’re heading.

The future of Weka Solar is about continuing to raise the standard, embracing new technology, and delivering solar solutions we can genuinely stand behind.

Having an in house team means we keep full control of the quality on site.

It’s the extra detail that makes a quality install, and that detail is what gives the system its longevity and, in this case, lets it blend in cleanly with the roof.

What you’re seeing here is us stringlining the rails.

It’s rare to get a perfectly even roof, so we line everything off the string to get the panels sitting flush.

On a roof space like this, that means the panels blend in nicely rather than standing off at odd heights.

Flat roof? You've still got good solar options.

A flat or low-pitch roof doesn't mean settling for less output.
It just means choosing the right approach for your home and your energy goals.

Two ways we lift performance on a flat roof:

1 - Extendable leg kits.
We mount the panels on adjustable legs and tilt them up to 45 degrees, angling them toward the sun for stronger year-round production.

2 - Flush mounting with more panels.
If keeping the roofline clean matters more to you, we lay the panels flat against the roof and add extra ones to hit your energy target without changing the look of the house.

Same goal either way: a system sized to your power needs. The difference comes down to whether you're chasing maximum output per panel or a tidier finish.

Got a flat or low-pitch roof and wondering what would work best? Send us a message and we'll talk it through.

Every Solar Project is Different

For this Project in the Nikau Valley we staged the install so the system starts paying for itself immediately.

Stage 1: 16 x Suntech 450w panels on the home, a Sigenergy 12kW inverter, and 16kWh of battery storage.

Inspected and commissioned the day after completion, so the savings started insta

Stage 2: Trenching to the new shed, where more panels will be added so it runs completely on solar.

No redone work. No waiting around.

The system was designed from the start to expand as the property does.

Follow along for everything solar across the Wellington region.

Many people think they you should only install solar panels on North facing roofs.

In this video Alex talks about the advantages of having an East/West set up.

Recent Residential Installation in Paekākāriki.

Here we installed 36 x Suntech 450w Bifacial Panels paired with a SiGenergy 12kw inverter.

Before this home converted to solar it had monthly power bills as high as $500

Now with Solar, the homeowner is seeing bills below $50.

Lifetime savings - $124,935

With correct system sizing to your power usage, Solar Power is the smart investment.
