About Solar Scout
Established March 2024
Solar Scout helps New Zealand homeowners work out whether solar is worth it on their own roof, then compare quotes from vetted local installers. It is free for homeowners.
Answer a few questions about your home and power bill, and you get a free personalised solar report showing what your roof can realistically produce, what a system is likely to cost, and roughly how long it takes to pay back. If you want to go ahead, we match you with vetted installers in your region so you can compare real quotes side by side.
We are not an installer and we do not sell panels. We are an independent matching service, so we have no reason to push any particular brand or system size. Solar Scout covers every New Zealand region.
